But I finally got around to finding a solution.The first clue was that if I invoked VCBuild.exe from the command line, I could get rid of the problem by using the /useenv command line option. This tells it to use environment variables to get the path to libraries, executable and the like instead of using the configured directories. The fact that it works when using the environment variables, but not when using the configured directories pointed the finger at the configured directories...This config can be found in Visual Studio's Options dialog (off the Tools menu).

Anyway, here's what I found:If you set your environment variables (Start > Control Panel > System : Advanced tab; click Environment Variables) to use %SystemRoot% instead of explicit paths (say, C:\Windows), MSVS 2005 does not understand %SystemRoot% or it resets its entries... ...or both. Don't just believe what the list box says; Edit the item and you'll see the differences.What you must do is change MSVS 2005 options (Tools menu

Last night I was trying to compile and run code and it was telling me it was having trouble 'spawning cmd.exe'. I did a repair on it last night and ran a quick test and it worked fine.

Solved Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cmd.exe' Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 C++ .net Posted on 2006-08-30 Visual C++.NET 1 Verified Solution 2 Comments 17,443 Views Last Modified: 2011-08-18 I'm still getting this error when I build my C++ program in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 - Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cmd.exe' I have taken the steps in "Error spawning 'comd.exe' from VS 2005 pro C++" solution but it isn't working for me. I am able to solve it temporarily by changing the Embedded manifest to "no". This works if I do it for each project. I did the steps: Goto Start --> Programs --> Microsoft Visual Studio .. -> Tools --> Visual Studio Command Prompt Type "path > C:\path.txt" at the command prompt, and then "exit" Goto Start --> Run and type "cmd.exe" Type "path < C:\path.txt", and then "exit" Then I did this: open C:\path.txt in notepad Copy everything. Press Winkey (That exists between Ctrl and Alt) + Pause Goto Advanced, Environment Variables Select PATH and click Edit put the copied text, click OK. Do the same for the other list box too. This is what I pasted into the Environmental Variables - User variables for PATH: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8
