'installutil' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You get this error when you type 'installutil.exe' in a command prompt.
Reason: .net folder path is not set in the 'PATH' variable because of which location of installutil.exe was not found.

Resolution:

a) Use the visual studio command prompt, it will work there
b) Set .NET folder path in system's 'PATH' variable . Then try it should get the path of 'installutil.exe' and you can use it directly in any command prompt.
