I just found out about the TableDiff tool for SQL Server on the hidden features question and had a full-blown nerdgasm. I would like to download the tool, but everywhere I look I am told to look in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM\TableDiff.exe. After looking everywhere on my PC (I have SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server 2008 installed), I can't find it.

Where I can download the TableDiff.exe tool stand-alone?

The GUI tool isn't the droid I'm looking for.

Not sure if you are running a 64bit OS as mine is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM\tablediff.exe

I looked there - that folder is just filled with a bunch of DLLs. But I am running a 64-bit machine...let me look deeper.

My Windows Search is broken, or I'm an idiot. I found it here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM\tablediff.exe

and NOT here as expected:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM

Thanks guys!

I am so sticking with `dir tablediff.exe /s` from now on.

Yup, Windows Search is crap. I always use `dir /s` these days.

If you cannot find TableDiff.exe, re-run the SQL Server install and choose REPLICATION support.

TableDiff is officially "Microsoft (R) SQL Server Replication Diff Tool" and will be added when using Replication.
