Where is CorFlags.exe? (.NET Framework Tools)

Question

Where can I find the CorFlags.exe tool? I made full search of my hard disk drive, but it was not found.

I have: .NET Framework 4.0, Visual C# 2010 Express, Visual C++ 2010 Express. The OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

Answer 1

It should be part of the Windows SDK, version 6 or higher, located somewhere like...

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\x64\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\x64\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\x64\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6 Tools\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6 Tools\x64\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools\CorFlags.exe
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools\x64\CorFlags.exe

If you don't see it and you have a 64-bit system, also check %ProgramFiles(x86)%.

It could also be under the x86 folder if the 32bit Windows SDK installer used: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows. Also, each version of the SDK has different versions of CorFlags.exe, which produce slightly different output. – Cryptomeria

Most could probably find it on their own from the information provided, but in newer versions of the Windows SDK install, the path below bin will include the .NET framework version, such as ...\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools, ...\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6 Tools, or ...\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.1 Tools – Cryptomeria

It seems that the Windows SDK now is called ".NET Framework Dev Pack". Here is the download link to the currently latest Dev Pack 4.7.2. After installing, it was located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.7.2 Tools", even on my 64 bit Windows 10 machine. – Andel

If you want to find it in Visual Studio Developer CMD and have Python, use this script (my original work):

import os
def selectlower(w):
    d = []
    for i in w:
        d.append(i.lower())
    return d
def searchmyPATH(name):
    e = True
    pathenv = os.environ['PATH']
    paths = pathenv.split(';')
    for x in paths:
        if os.path.exists(x) and os.path.isdir(x):
            y = selectlower(os.listdir(x))
            if name.lower() in y:
                print(x)
                e = False
    if e:
        print("none")
searchmyPATH("corflags.exe")

With my 64-bit Windows 10 machine, I found it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools as an example. (I was actually looking for ResGen.)
Run the Python script in VS Developer CMD.
