Just starting out

[Milos Setek]

Hello all,

I am a real newbie. I've just installed vs.net and I am starting with the
simplest example HelloWorld.

When running the simple hello world example as required (by executing
build.bat in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
..NET\FrameworkSDK\Samples\Tutorials\PlatformIntroduction\HelloWorld\VC) I
get the following feedback at the dos prompt:
'cl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Where in this environment do I set up the paths so that cl.exe runs.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Milos.

The problem is you do not have the path statement set. With Visual Studio
..NET, there is a command prompt that contains the proper path. The full path
(you will only need a part of this) for 1.1 is (formatted for 1.1 and
VS.NET):
