Compiling Error Spawning Cl Exe
hell broke loose and none of my projects in VC++ will compile. It just gives me the error “error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cl.exe'.”. I tried to fix is as the KB say by repairing/reinstalling VS.NET, But it still fails. I came across a blog stating that the paths went coocoo.

If you use this option to refresh the paths (optimal), be sure to include the PlatformSDK's directories to be called before VC's. Go to Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions-> and here you will want to show directories for executables and add PSDK's \bin, and move it up to the top. Show directories for include and add PSDK's \include, and move it up to the top. Show directories for lib and add PSDK's \lib and move that up to the top. If you want to use the DirectX SDK, make sure to do the same thing with this (except for lib choose \l

You may need to put the path to cl.exe in your PATH environment variable. on my computer, it's in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin go to Control Panel > System > "Advanced" tab > "Environment Variables" button > under "System Variables" find PATH > click "edit" > add the above path, preceded by a ';' You'll probably get another error or two - add the paths to those in as well.
