Trying to find HLSL Compiler

Googling for "HLSL compiler" and a few things, I'm frustratingly unable to find where to look for a standalone HLSL compiler for D3D9 so I can tell which lines are causing problems.

I can't see anything in my S开发者_StackOverflow中文版DK but perhaps it has a name I am not recognising?

The HLSL compiler is called fxc.exe and is located in the DirectX SDK under Utilities.

The path on my system is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (February 2010)\Utilities\bin\x64\fxc.exe

For HLSL Effects that you can use in XNA/DX (PS 2.0-3.0) you can try:

3DPee (Tridipy) player and shader editor

It operates on images and video. It supports multi pass technique, vertext shader, and has a nice editor with error message reporting on compile. It's an alpha version i have developed but it can be useful.
