?? Warning using Command Line Compile ??

[Tom Baxter]

I just set up VS 2008 B2 and did a simple command line compile from the VS
command prompt.

I received this warning:

warning CS1668: Invalid search path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\lib' specified in 'LIB environment
variable' -- 'The system cannot find the path specified. '

When I checked, sure enough, the "lib" directory is not present'. Perhaps I
selected some combination of installation options that resulted in the "lib"
directory not being created.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen this.

Tom,

I haven't seen it, but what is it that you are referencing that could be
there?

Also, if it is a warning that doesn't specify a directory, but it still
compiles, then perhaps it is an error with the install/project, and you can
modify the project properties to not include that path.

Tom,

I haven't seen it, but what is it that you are referencing that could
be there?

I did a fresh install of VS 2008 B2. Then, I opened the VS command prompt
and did a simple command-line compile of HelloWorld C# program.

What's happening is the script that runs when I open a VS command prompt is
setting the LIB environment variable to a directory that does not exist. The
script I'm referring to is:

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86

Also, if it is a warning that doesn't specify a directory, but it still
compiles, then perhaps it is an error with the install/project, and you
can modify the project properties to not include that path.

As I said, there is no "project" to modify. The Microsoft script is setting
the LIB variable to a directory that does not exist.
