Location of symchk

Question

I've read about symchk (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff560157%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) but I can't figure out where it's located on my disk (or how to get it). I've installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and would think that it's included. Am I wrong?

See MS KB (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311503). SymChk is delivered with Debugging Tools for Windows (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463009).

Strange is that the debug tools aren't installed with Visual Studio. So, after installing the Windows SDK one can find symchk under C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64) (or similar). – Rocca

I found mine in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64 – Oxheart
