Where does Microsoft hide the TraceDmp tool/source?

Question

This link on MSDN says it's stored in the samples directory of the Windows SDK:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363805(VS.85).aspx

Except it isn't, and I have the latest version. Where can one go to find this code, if not the distributable tool itself?

Answer 1

If you have the v6.1 WinSDK it can be found here:

%programfiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\WinBase\eventtrace\tracedmp

I would need to check if it's available on newer versions of the platform SDK.

Answer 2

TradeDmp is a canned ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) consumer. If you are open to using C# there is sample code for ETW event consumption here. Otherwise, the guidelines for consuming events in native code are here.

Apologies if this is telling you stuff you already know, let me know if so and I will delete this.
