Error Windows cannot find ' svcutil.exe'
Among the many projects here in the company, there is one that when I am going to compile gives the following error:
Windows cannot find ' svcutil.exe '
What do I do to resolve this error?
This is the version of my Visual and Framework:
- Visual Studio Ultimate 2013
-
Folders in
Microsoft SDKs\Windows:v7.0A,v7.1A,v8.0,v8.0A,v8.1ev8.1A
Only one of the projects presents the error, the others run normally, the project that presents the error is using the version:
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>

What was missing was to take the full path of the application, which in the case was this C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools and put in the environment variable PATH after the ;.
To switch go to:
- my computer > advanced settings > environment variables
- search for the word
PATHand two clicks with the mouse - edit the variable value field and then press all"Ok"
- sometimes it is necessary to log off or restart, but it is not always precise
Before I had created a new variable and put it there. It didn't work. So, I took the full path and put in the variable PATH, which already exists in the windows environment. With that I was able to make it work. That is, Windows found the application.
Use the .NET 4.0 SDK version available here:

Svcutil.exe that is in v7.1 / bin has Version 3.0...(not 4.0)
Svcutil.exe that is in v7.1/bin / NETFX 4.0 Tools has versa 4.0...(4.0, you should use this one!)
