svcutil not producing Config file

Question

On the time of installer I install new certificate on each machine so i need to update application config file with certificate encoded value.

<client>
            <endpoint address="http://localhost:4064/DOXFA/MDMFileAccess.svc/epMainFA"
             binding="wsFederationHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="epMainFA"
             contract="FileAccessService.IAMICASFileAccessService" name="epMainFA">
                <identity>
                    <certificate encodedValue="**encoded value..."** />
                </identity>
            </endpoint>
            ....
<client>

Application use AbcService WCF services perform some of the operation. so installer use svcutil to create config file and extract certificate encoded value and place it in applicatuion config file.

However svcutil not producing any config file now.

svcutil.exe "http://localhost:4064/WebApp/Abc.svc?wsdl" /config:C:\wcf.config

Answer 1

This was an issue with svcutil.exe. I am able to resolve this by restoring a svcutil.exe from another machine.
