Vista - Where is tlbimp.exe?

I am using a com object called excel 9.0 object library.
I need to build a dll component using tlbimp.exe but don't have a copy and
can't find one on the net.
I am using vs2008 express edition and I guess its not included?
Where might I find this file?

Sounds like you're trying to interact with the excel object model inside a
managed app. Is there a particular reason why you believe you need the type
library importer?

You should be able to download it with the windows platform sdk, not 100%
sure but that's where it's installed at on my machine right now.

I downloaded and installed the Windows SDK, then I found tlbimp.exe and tlbexp.exe here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin

Hi,

tlbimp.exe (Type Library Importer) is part of the .Net Framework SDK and is
installed either separatly or as part of Visual Studio. If installed can be
found in

%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin

and/or

%Program Files%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin

(Possibly a third location for .Net 1.1/1.0 VS 2002/2003)

If you are using Visual Studio, you can ignore the file location if you open
the Visual Studio # Command Prompt as the command prompt will open with the
necessary paths.
