IIS 7.0 Trace Viewer

There is a 90% chance I have to use the "Failed Request Tracing" feature (FRT) when I'm troubleshooting IIS7 issues. To be honest, I stopped turning it off. Tracing is so useful and fast that I don't see why I should disable it on my development box. I have a rule that catches all requests (status code 200-500) and there is no negative impact.

The problem was so far that I always had to shell out to the command-line to open my trace files.

 Not anymore. The IIS7 Trace Viewer is an IIS7 User Interface Module that shows me my site's trace files.
