| Message Compiler (MC.exe) | A command line utility used to compile instrumentation manifests and message text files. |
| WevtUtil.exe | A command line utility used primarily to register your provider on the computer. You can also use it to get metadata information about the provider, its events, and the channels to which it logs events, and to query events from a channel or log file.
