Where can I obtain logger and logviewer from for WinDbg?

Question

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/logger-and-logviewer indicates that the logger and log viewer are distributed with WinDbg.

I have installed WinDbg through the MicrosoftStore on my Windows 11 Enterprise machine (Version 23H2, OS Build 22631.4317, Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1041.0).

I have followed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/using-the-debugger-and-logexts-dll but get:

0:000> !logexts.logi
The call to LoadLibrary(logexts) failed, Win32 error 0n2
    "The system cannot find the file specified."
Please check your debugger configuration and/or network access.

You may also consider deploying your extension to the UserExtensions extension gallery repository
located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\dbg\UserExtensions folder. It would require an extension manifest.
Error: Failed to load extension logexts

I can see that WinDbg installed into .../Windows/Apps/Microsoft.WinDbg_1.2410.11001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe and I've searched within that location and can not find the Logexts.dll nor the Logger.exe files

WinDbg About shows:

Debugger client version: 1.2410.11001.0

Debugger engine version 10.0.27725.1000

Please can you advise how I can obtain logger and log viewer?

Hello Mark Underwood,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You can obtain the Logger and LogViewer tools as part of the Debugging Tools for Windows package. These tools are included in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) and the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

Follow this link to get them:

Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn
