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.
