PRB: Error Executing ~vcecho!Compiling

MORE INFORMATION

1. In Microsoft Developer Studio, on the Tools menu, click Options, then click the Directories tab. In the "Show directories for" drop-down list box, select Executable Files. The following paths should be listed, where drive C is the installation drive:
   
   If installed on Windows NT:

         C:\Program Files\DevStudio\SharedIDE\BIN
         C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\BIN
         C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\BIN\WINNT
   						

   If installed on Windows 95:

         C:\Program Files\DevStudio\SharedIDE\BIN
         C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\BIN
         C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\BIN\WIN95
   						

2. The "COMSPEC" environment variable should have the following value:
   
   If installed on Windows NT:

         COMSPEC=%SYSTEMROOT%\CMD.EXE
   						

   To view and modify the COMSPEC environment variable in the NT Operating System, in Control panel, double-click the System icon, then click the Environment tab. The COMSPEC variable should be in the System Variables box. You can add or modify a variable using the Variable and Value edit box.
   
   If installed on Windows 95:

         COMSPEC=%WINDIR%\COMMAND.COM
   						

   In Windows 95, type SET in a DOS window; you will see the environment variables. Add or modify an environment variable by adding a SET command to the Autoexec.bat file, and rebooting.
3. If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make sure that installed Windows CE components are installed under a user account with administrative privileges.
4. If none of the above steps work, then uninstall Windows CE components (if installed) and uninstall Visual C++ 5.0. After uninstalling, delete the ..\DevStudio directory in the installed drive, saving any user-created projects before deleting. Then delete the following registry keys if they still exist.

         HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio
         HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Infoviewer\5.0
         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio
         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Infoviewer\5.0
   						

   Then reinstall Visual C++ version 5.0. Verify that this installation works before installing any Windows CE components.
