Inspect.exe missing in Windows SDK for Server 2008

The Windows SDK for Server 2008 does not include Inspect.exe. Does anyone know where I might find a copy of Inspect.exe or AccExplorer32.exe? I'm running the 64 bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2.

Where is inspect EXE installed?

Inspect.exe is located in the \bin\<version>\<platform> folder of the SDK installation path (you don't typically have to run as administrator).

Where is Windows SDK installed?

By default, the Windows 10 SDK is installed into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10" folder.

Solution:

  1. Download the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 (ISO)
  2. Unzip using 7Zip or a similar archive tool
  3. Navigate to Setup\WinSDKTools
  4. Open cab1.cab (this is just like a .zip file, any archving tool should be able to open it)
  5. Locate WinSDK_Inspect_exe_x86, extract it to a folder somewhere, add the .exe extension
  6. All done!

I should mention that Window Detective does the same thing as Inspect.exe, but does it better, so it's an excellent alternative.

Strangely enough. Microsoft site shows this should be a part of Windows SDK. Maybe you should try some other version of SDK?
