I just installed Visual Studio 2008, and am looking to use the Microsoft Intermediate Language Disassembler (ILDASM.exe) to look at some DLLs.

Problem is, "ildasm" is not recognized on the command line, and I cannot find ildasm.exe anywhere in my VS 2008 install directory (e.g. c:\programs\Visual_Studio_9.0\).

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Found it! At C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin

This answer helped.

It's shipped as part of the Windows SDK. On my pc, it's at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\ildasm.exe

gosh... why don't they just put it in the VS directory??

Because it's not part of Visual Studio.

If you open up the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt, a shortcut to which installed with Visual Studio, then it should be in your path - you can just run it from any directory.
