VC++ Compilation Error

[Guest]

Hi All

i have installed VC++ in XPE. Now i can able to debug my
application. But i couldn't compile, and also I am unable to build. I am
getting the following error message while building the files:

Error spawning 'vcspawn.exe'. The build could not be performed.

Hi Hussain !


Take a look in MSDN to KB236092 - FIX: "Error Spawning 'vcspawn.exe'. The
build could not be performed." and KB327146 - FIX: VCSpawn Fails During
Build. Maybe you will find some reasons & fixies for your problem.

Best Regards,

Hussain,

How did you install the VC++? Did you register all the VC environmental variables? Did you make sure the compiler and linker path
are in the Path var?
Also, make sure you added "Null Device Driver" component to your image (Visibility=200 so be aware).

Btw.. why do you need VC to debug locally? Why not use WinDbg? Or even VC to debug remotely over serial or 1394? That may be much
easier and, btw, cleaner from debug point of view.
Also, what are you trying to archive by debugging your app under XPe? If it is just a general app development (not XPe related which
is usually the case if you satisfied all the app static and dynamic dependencies), you may be better off debugging the app on XP Pro
machine.
