I do not see dumbin.exe on my sysytem . I have Visual Studio 2005 on my system . When I type dumpbin on command line , it says unrecognizable command .
Does not it come ( by default ) with Visual Studio , or do I have to explicitly add this tool .

A:
You probably need to open a command prompt with the PATH set up properly. Look for an icon in the start menu that says something like "Visual C++ 2005 Command Prompt". You should be able to run dumpbin (and all the other command line tools) from there.

By default, it's not in your PATH. You need to use the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt". Alternatively, you can run the vsvars32 batch file, which will set up your environment correctly.
Conveniently, the path to this is stored in the VS80COMNTOOLS environment variable.
