It does not install cl.exe if you only install Visual C++ but not Visual C#. To work around this you have to install Visual C# even if you do http://stackoverflow.com/questions/109319/error-prj0003-error-spawning-cl-exe not need this. share|improve this answer answered Feb 12 '10 at 15:40 Attila 14114 +1 This fixed it for me. –harms Jul 12 '10 at 17:31 +1 Nice one Attila. You saved me a shedload of pointless trawling. –AndyUK Aug 2 '11 at 13:15 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote cl.exe is VS2008 (and any other VS) C/C++ compiler, so check for more detailed error message why it cannot be spawned. Be sure you've installed C++ language support when installing VS2008. share|improve this answer answered Sep 20 '08 at 21:40 Michael Pliskin 1,31131838 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote It could be that your "path" environment variable does not contain the path to the folder where cl.exe is located. Another possible reason could be that when installing VS2008, you did not select the option to install the Win32 tools (which include the command line compiler). In any case, you may want to try to repair the installation of VS2008 (by running its setup via Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs), or use its "Add/Remove components" option and add the "Win32 tools" option (under Visual C++ - Visual C++ Tools). share|improve this answer answered Sep 20 '08 at 21:55 Andrei Belogortseff 1,30821526 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Fac

Any other ideas? Friday, July 28, 2006 2:19 AM Reply | Quote 13 Sign in to vote The date on this post is pretty ancient. 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 > Options > Project and Solutions > VC++ Directories) to ensure that $(SystemRoot) $(SystemRoot)\System32 $(SystemR
