I have been using MSC++ for awhile and it has been working fine then today I went to go to compile this code and I got this error message I tried everything to fix it and nothing has seem to work

Error spawning cl.exe

running.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)[/code]

What'd you change recently?

Nothing that I know of it was working fine it worked yesterday when I went to go to compile another code I wrote then I wrote another one last night then went to go to compile today and I got that error.

Perhaps you damaged your path or otherwise made it so that cl isn't in the search path that VC is using.

It looks like I some how I damage the path here is a log of the working code I compiled be for it gave me the error

Sorry to doubble post and bring up a old topic. I looked every where and try to fix my problem, , I've tryed to reinstall to fix the problem and I googled it  and it didn't help, and I would like to start programming again. Can somebody point me in the right direction.

Perhaps some of the files necessary for the compilation to complete have been relocated to an area that MSC++ cannot locate?

Well I know the error is the spawning cl.exe, I Don't what its suppose to be and where to fix it at.

cl.exe is the compiler.  It's supposed to be somewhere under the Visual Studio directory, probably in a directory named bin.  You can fix it by telling Visual Studio how to find cl.

Alternatively, you could go to invoking cl by hand once you find it. :)

I fixed it I named a project called CL and for somereason it worked, I tested it on other projects and everything compiles now, it is the stupidest thing I ever heard but it worked.
