Where should I download CorFlags.exe from?

Question

I'm running Windows Server 2008 64-bit "workstation" and would like to get corflags.exe. Which SDK do I need to download?

I know about .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x64) and Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 but I was hoping to find something smaller as these are quite large downloads.

Also the note about 2.0 SDK seems to suggest to download the 3.5 one, should I follow that?

Answer 1

The current official version is in the "Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5". (Requires XP or later.)

You just need to install the .NET Development Tools subcomponent (Developer Tools -> Windows Development Tools -> .NET Development Tools).

That should place corflags.exe in Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin

Answer 2

As rakslice already pointed out, there is now the 'SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1' available as the latest version at Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.

This can also be run under Windows XP and later and still contains corflags.exe.

Note that if one is purely interested in the coreflags.exe, one chooses to only install the '.NET Development Tools' subcomponent, about 75 MB will be thrown on the harddisk. After doing so, I found the desired tool at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\CorFlags.exe.

Answer 3

If you install the .NET framework (you should already have it), it'll be at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0\Bin\corflags.exe

Come to think of it, you may need to install the Microsoft .NET 2.0 SDK from .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x64) -- check for that file first.
