Where can I download the Remote Debugger for Visual Studio 2017 [closed]

Question

About six weeks ago I set up remote debugging on a couple of our servers to enable us to remotely debug applications that were created in Visual Studio 2017. However, I want to install remote debugging onto a different server but can't now seem to find a source from which to download the remote debugging software - it looks as if the source has been removed by Microsoft since the release of Visual Studio 2019.

Can someone point me to a reliable source for the software? I stupidly didn't keep a copy of the download when I pulled it down before. Alternatively, is the remote debugging software available as part of the actual installation software for VS2017?

Answer 1

If you have VS2017 installed, then you can copy the whole

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger

folder (adjust path accordingly) to a target machine and run msvsmon.exe there.

Code from my Remote Debugging Easy:

    if (RDV == 2022)
    {
        if (ARCH == 64)
            d = FetchX("https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/964531996/RemoteTools.amd64ret.enu.exe");
        else
            d = FetchX("https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/964531996/RemoteTools.x86ret.enu.exe");
    }
    else
    if (RDV == 2019)
    {
        if (ARCH == 64)
            d = Fetch("https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/RemoteTools.amd64ret.enu.exe");
        else
            d = Fetch("https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/RemoteTools.x86ret.enu.exe");
    }
    else
    if (RDV == 2017)
    {
        if (ARCH == 64)
            d = Fetch("https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/RemoteTools.amd64ret.enu.exe");
        else
            d = Fetch("https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/RemoteTools.x86ret.enu.exe");
    }
    else // 2015
    {
        if (ARCH == 64)
            d = Fetch("https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/7/A/E7AEA696-A4EB-48DD-BA4A-9BE41A402400/rtools_setup_x64.exe");
        else
            d = Fetch("https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/7/A/E7AEA696-A4EB-48DD-BA4A-9BE41A402400/rtools_setup_x86.exe");
    }

Using links from this msdn page (when they used to work :P). It has also the links for older versions.

EDIT: Added VS 2022 remote debugging tools.
