The build could not be performed. Hi there, I didn't use my VC++ compiler for some time and today, when I need it, I get the following error: Cannot start tool. The operation completed successfully. Cannot start tool. Error spawning 'vcspawn.exe'. The build could not be performed. I work on a Windows 2000 Professional Platform (5.00.2195), Service Pack 2 and http://forums.codeguru.com/showthread.php?44028-Error-spawning-vcspawn-exe-The-build-could-not-be-performed VC++ 6.0 Enterprise Edition. I've read about this bug on Microsoft's website about correcting the IDE environment, I did this, but it doesn't seem to work, I still have the same problem. I reinstalled last night the whole Visual Studio on my computer, but no change. Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi, I was too fast, I haven't read the article til the end :-) I had to add (I don't know who or what deleted it...) the system environment variable ComSpec and then it ran again. http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q236/0/92.ASP Florin Micle Reply With Quote March 14th, 2005,05:16 AM #3 stampe View Profile View Forum Posts Junior Member Join Date Mar 2005 Posts 1 Re: Error spawning 'vcspawn.exe'.

The first test you can do is from visual studio try right clicking on vtkAbstractMapperClientServer.h, it should be in the vtkCommonCS target under the header files folder. Right clicking will give you a menu with a Compile option. Try that option. If the file compiles correctly then the error spawning 'vcspawn.exe'. problem lies with visual studio 6. VS6 has a problem handling large projects with many custom commands. We do have a vs6 dashboard but our path is a little shorter so maybe a shorter path would solve the problem for you. The second possibility is that we have a problem with the specific path you are using. That is less likely but still possible, We have a vs6 dashboard with a space in the path but maybe the . and - cause some problems. Either way let me know how the one file .h compile goes. If that works fine it is probably the path length.
