Is Tools > Create GUID removed in Visual Studio 2012?

Question

In Visual Studio 2010, there was a Create GUID entry in the Tools menu. I used it all the time for SharePoint Development.

Has Tools > Create GUID been removed in Visual Studio 2012? I don't see it and resorted to Powershell [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString()

Answer 1

No it's there... at least it's available in Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.

If missing try adding it via Tools -> External Tools and add:

%Installation Path%Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0Common7Toolsguidgen.exe

EDIT: It's probably installed with Visual C++.
