Visual Studio 2013 - command line tool missing

Hi there, 

Where would I find the VS cmd tool. 

I need to create snk file from command line, VS 2013 is up and running, I'm creating the projects, building and deploying. 

But I can't find the Visual Studio command line via start menu or via the VS interface.

What should I do ?

For some reason, it doesn't properly add an icon when running Windows 8+. 

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Visual Studio 2013

In that folder, you'll see a shortcut named Visual Studio Tools that maps to (assuming default installation):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts

Double-click the shortcut (or go to the folder above). From that folder, copy the shortcut named Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 (and any others you find useful) to the first directory (for the Start Menu). You'll likely be prompted for administrative access. Once you've done that, you'll now have an icon available for the 2013 command prompt.
