title: Where do I get tracefmt.exe? And how do I read my MSDTC traces?
body: <p>I followed <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899115" rel="noreferrer">the KB article from MS</a> in order to turn on MSDTC trace. Unfortunately it was hard to follow, since it doesn't assume a very reasonable and obvious expectation of the reader, specifically "how do I read this binary log file?" I read <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms678917%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">this page from MSDN</a> as well, where I find that I can't read the log file because I'm missing some executable called <code>tracefmt.exe</code>, and I'm apparently the only one anywhere with this problem.</p>
  
  <p>Hence my question: <strong>Why don't I have tracefmt.exe and where do I get it?</strong> or, to get to the point: <strong>How do I read my MSDTC trace logs?</strong></p>
