problem w/ helloworld sample

[Ringbearer]

i'm trying to compile the vb helloworld program that's
presented in the online library. when i try to run the
build.bat file, i get the following error

C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v1.1
\Samples\Tutorials\PlatformIntroduction\H
elloWorld\VB>vbc.exe /t:exe /debug+ /optionstrict+ /out:.\
HelloVB.exe HelloVB.vb

'vbc.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.

what's the problem?? i'm running windows xp and the
online documentation says that the path to the vb
compiler should already be set for this OS.

You need to set the path to include
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

My guess is that the batch file in the directory (I don't have the SDK
installed as the SDK, as it were, so I can't check) will do this.
