I've never had any luck doing this. Compiling for me has never been an issue. Make sure when you launch VC6 that you right click over the icon and select "Run as administrator".

I clicked the about and it gives me the Product ID but doesn't say anything about SP6. Should it? When i set run as Admin check box. I get a popup window and it says. This program has known compatibility issues. Program: Visual Studio Publisher: Microsoft Location: C:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\vcspawn.exe Visual Studio has a known compaitiblity issue with this version of Windows. I should also say that i'm running Winodws 7 Enterprise Edition.

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 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!
