Unable to locate DevToolsLauncher.exe

[wietze]

When trying to validate the behaviour described in devtoolslauncher.yml (#46) I have been unable to find the executable in question. The tweet suggests it is either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio (both very different products), but having installed both, I still can't find the devtoolslauncher.exe in the system32 folder.

I have used:

• The latest version of VSCode
• The latest version of Visual Studio 2019 Community (16.11.2) using the default installation settings plus the following modules:
  • .NET dev tools (including .NET Core runtime and .NET Dev tools)
  • UWP dev tools
  • C++ dev tools
  • Latest Windows 10 SDK
• Additionally, I installed the Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2019. The only Google results I found on this tool point to VSRemoteTools, which is why I tried installing it.

TL;DR I can't validate the behaviour as I can't get hold of the executable. I have no doubt it exists somewhere but if we can't work out how to get it, it is debatable whether it classifies as a Living-of-the-Land tool.

I cannot locate this lolbin either It could very well be in an older version of VS, If it cannot be found, it may be worth removing from LOLBAS.

Was looking at this and it seems that the utility was indeed available in older version. As shown by this thread https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/remote-debugging-on-windows-arm64-doesnt-work/636722

But after installing a multitude of Visual Studio components, I still didn't find it.
