Noob trying to create simple C# exe from SDK, can't find apputil.dll

I'm a fairly proficient C# and C++ Windows developer, and I'm getting started with this whole SDK.

Not being sure which one I need, so I downloaded VMware-vSphereSDK-6.5.0-4571253. The samples, even the main sample, in the "SDK\VMware-vSphereSDK-6.5.0-4571253\SDK\vsphere-ws\dotnet\cs" folder, won't build.

I ran the VMware PowerCLI powershell installation and was able to get VimService65.dll.

However, there is no apputil.dll. There is a vmapputil.dll, but that cannot be loaded as a Reference in Visual Studio 2017 b/c it complains it's not a COM component.

Any help to help me get started is much appreciated.

Did you already run the bat file in vsphere-ws\dotnet\bin?
