Using Microsoft's Visual UI Automation Verify

I'm doing my first steps in automated QA, doing a UI automation for a WPF app. After a long research I figured the best tool for the task is TestStack.White. I'm stuck at the stage of identifying the type of ui element on which I want to perform. Some were easy to find and some weren't. I've read about a tool by MS, Visual UIA Verify, which should be a part of Windows SDK. I have SDK installed, but I don't have VUIAV. So my questions are:

  1. Is UIA verify indeed the right tool for the job?
  2. How should I use it? I tried downloading from this link, but still couldn't get it to work. I did a lot of googling before posting, with no real answer.

I'm working with VS 2015, on a machine running Win7 pro 64bit, if it matters.

Thanks,

Tal

As was said above it comes together with Windows SDK. And personally for me the path to it is: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\UIAVerify\VisualUIAVerifyNative.exe

Also I can find it here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\inspect.exe

But it's a little bit different tool.

Compare inspect.exe: enter image description here

With VisualUIAVerifyNative.exe: enter image description here
