Where is TextTransform.exe located?

I'm trying to implement the solution in this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1646580/get-visual-studio-to-run-a-t4-template-on-every-build

However I'm getting an error

"'TextTransform.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I have been looking through the program files, however not sure where TextTransform.exe is located.

A: 

It should be below

\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextTemplating\

see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126245.aspx

Cool, thanks for the link Chad.I don't have VS2010, I have 2008. So the location for VS2008 is here:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextTemplating\1.2

@Paul, same location here actually, which is why I took out the version from the URI
Chad
Right, thanks for clarifying - much appreciated.

I would recommend trying this over that solution: http://www.olegsych.com/2010/04/understanding-t4-msbuild-integration

If you don't have VS 2010, though, I suppose you're stuck doing it the hard way.
