Bingo that did the trick. Thanks.

Can you try deleting the VCComponents.dat file from

<users doc and settings directory>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0 directory.

Restart the environment and this scenario should work.

Thanks

Full Beta 2 from the CDs. Tried a fresh application and still did not find cl.exe. I looked in my directories, and for some reason there are only two listed for normal compiling. When I tried to add the base directories similar to the x64 processors (ignoring the x64-specific directories) cl.exe returns en error code.

When I default-installed, the only paths in Win32 Executables were hard-links to the SDK.

I added for trying to get cl.exe to work:
$(VCInstallDir)bin
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\bin
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\common\bin
$(VSInstallDir)Common7\Tools\bin

Now, when compiling, it finds cl.exe but returns:

Project : error PRJ0002 : Error result -1073741515 returned from 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.exe'.

Hello,

Can you provide us more information on this bug? Is this on Express SKU? If you create a fresh application with a wizard, does this problem reproduce? Does it work for any other converted projects? Was there any installation problem? Do you find cl.exe installed on your machine? Did you try this on the default Win32 platform?

Thank you.
