NetCFSvcUtil "Error: An error has occurred in the tool."

I am trying to generate WCF proxy client code for a Windows mobile application using basicHttpBinding, and I constantly get the following error:

Error: An error has occurred in the tool.

Error: application error

I managed to create a proxy server before, but I do not know why this happens suddenly. I read the Sameh Samir post , but the service I use does not use the Message Contracts I created (I used LINQ to SQL ORD), and WCFTestClient can connect to the service and display the contracts.

UPDATE

It seems the problem was in Windows 7 RC1. I tried this on Win7, and after running NetCFSvcUtil on XP, everything works fine.

Does anyone know how I can report this issue to Microsoft?

A new tool is now available that replaces the older version of NetCFSvcUtil. It was released on Monday, August 10, 2009. It can be downloaded at the following link:

I found this: http://blogs.msdn.com/habibh/archive/2009/06/26/netcfsvcutil-exe-and-windows-7.aspx

Basically, it says: There are currently no fixes for this problem. The only workaround is to run NetCFSvcUtil.exe on Windows Vista (SP1 or earlier) or Windows Server 2008 (SP1 or earlier), and then copy the generated client code to other computers.
