BrianK Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'll save the "I hate Windows" speech & just ask if anyone else has run into this problem: I've just installed a fresh H7.0.342 on a Windows machine. I ran the hdkinstall.exe in $HTB, but now, when I compile, I'm getting a message saying cl.exe can't find mspdb71.dll. I have the env var MSVCDir set to the 8.3 path to MSVC. Am I missing some other step? Is there documentation for this anywhere? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Sounds like a PATH environment variable issue to me. Try munging with that so that it only has the directories you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Oh I just realized that you might not have the required directories in the first place. Here's the relevant ones from my PATH environment: e:/msdev7/Common7/Tools/Bin;e:/msdev7/Common7/IDE;e:/msdev7/Vc7/bin where my MSVCDir is set to e:/msdev7/vc7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 BTW, if you look in Visual Studio's help look for: compiling source code, from command line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
