[SOLVED] Installing Debugging Tools for Windows from command line

Installing Debugging Tools for Windows from command line

I am trying to automate a Windows build in AWS Codebuild which require downloading Windows SDK with Debugging Tools for Windows installed.

I am able to install the Windows SDK using Visual Studio with some other files required.

powershell -c "Start-Process -FilePath 'vs_community.exe' -ArgumentList \"--quiet\", 
\"--norestart\" , \"--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Universal\", 
\"--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop\", 
\"--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ATLMFC\", 
\"--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.19041\", 
\"--includeRecommended\" -Wait;"

The build requires Debugging Tools for Windows enabled in Windows SDK which is straightforward in UI installation. But since I want to automate this, I am looking for a command line option to install Debugging Tools for Windows in Windows 10 SDK.

Solution

I was able to install Debugging Tools for Windows via standalone windows sdk installer through command line as below:

powershell -c "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2120843' -OutFile winsdksetup.exe -UseBasicParsing ;"
winsdksetup.exe /features + /q /norestart

/features + selects all the features available in Windows SDK to install.
