Is Inspect a part of the Windows 10 standalone SDK?

Is there any alternative application to "inspect" for windows 10? I want to install "inspect" tool on my machine running windows 10 build 10586 (for testing purpose). According to Inspect documentation on MSDN it is not described if it is a part of win 10 sdk also or only upto win 8.1. Also is there any alternative tool for "Inspect" to debug on windows 10?

Since 10.0.15063 the directory of the tools has changed. See the changelog:

To improve the developer experience, tools and metadata will lay down in versioned folders. This will allow developers to isolate the SDK and tools between releases.

You have to put the version of the Windows SDK between bin and x64 (or x86 or arm)

For me inspect is in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.15063.0\x64

The folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64 (without the SDK version) exists, but does not contain the inspect tool.
