.net 4.0 - Where can I download WPF Performance Suite for Windows 8

Question

The WPF Performance Suite is described here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969767.aspx#installing_the_wpf_performance_suite

-> how can I install it on Windows 8?

(the Windows 7 SDK can't be installed and the Windows 8 SDK contains Performance tools such as GPUView but not the WPF profilers "Perforator" and "Visual Profiler".

I googled several hours for it but didn't find anything.

Answer 1

Ok, I have it running under Windows 8, but afaik only for framework 4.

Download the tools (link borrowed from Athari above)

Install and it test. Select visual profiler and attach to a process. If it doesn't appear to work, download this patch from MS.

After installing the patch I now have it working again. This is on Windows 8 pro running on a Dell XPS 17 i7 based machine.
