In Visual Studio 2005 the XSD compiler was in the SDK/v2.0 directory. In Visual Studio there is only a SDK/v3.5 directory has gone and so too has the xsd.exe compiler. Where has it gone?

A:
I have xsd.exe here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\xsd.exe So I think you have yours at the Windows Platform SDK corresponding path on your machine. Make sure you have installed PlatformSDK sometimes it can be in VisualStudio directory

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\xsd.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\xsd.exe
I have VS2005 and VS2008 installed (and had VS2003 before installed).

A:
Not being completely happy with the above answers I have found that the SDK containing amongst other things the XSD.exe compiler is distributed now as part of the Windows SDK. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/bb980924.aspx?wt.svl=more_downloads
It is distributed as part of the Visual Studio 2008 package but they have moved it from the Visual Studio directory tree to "Program Files/Microsoft SDKs".

Did you look where the other answers said to look, and then didn't find it?

It's not just where to find it, it is also how and why it is where it is. We're building on many developer's machines and also a continuous build server. I want to be able to get veery machine building against a consitent version and location.
