Build Problem

I'm currently taking a Visual C++ course. I have C++ version 6.0 on my
machine.
I set up a basic program per course instructions to simply create a
window with
default toolbar, etc., using App Wizard and ran build from the menu to
create
the .exe.
Got following output:

--------------------Configuration: sam - Win32 Debug--------------------
Copying contents file...
The system cannot find the path specified.
Error executing c:\windows\syst em32\cmd.exe.

sam.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
-----------------------------------------

The logfile sam.plg is as follows:

-------------------------------------

The only possibilities I can guess from this are
1) the system can't determine where the "hlp\" path is
2) all the paths except "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\MyProjec ts\sam\sam.rc" are in DOS 8.3 format, and the full path
name is throwing the command line, but my OS is XP, so that would not
seem to be it

Unfortunately the log doesn't identify which statement is crashing. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Ken

No way for this group to tell:

Your favorite M$ newsgroup would be a far superior source of
information.

It seems to that you need to set the path environment variable to where the
cmd.exe is in your system.
Hope this helps.

1/ I am suspicious of the *two* quotes after /sam.rc If you can trace
back the reference to the .rc (?resourse file?) that might help.


Unfortunatel y the log doesn't identify which statement is crashing. Any
suggestions?
2/ It won't, this is a build problem, not a compile problem.

3/ Your question is off-topic here, try a newsgroup specifically for
Visual C++ where there will be more people who use that particular
product. I don't.

Correction:
I have the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, version 6.0, on my machine.

The compiler and language are two different objects. I use C++ on my
machine and have these compilers loaded:
Microsoft Visual C++
Borland C++ Builder
Arm Project Manager
GNU G++
There are other compilers than Microsoft's Visual C++.
I set up a basic program per course instructions to simply create a

Sorry, but windowing uses platform specific functions that are not in
the _standard_ language. A very good idea is to ask in a microsoft
newsgroup. See the links in my signature.

Didn't know anyone but MS made Visual C++, so I didn't bother to be
verbose. Glad to see you're on top of those nits.

If you want to nit pick, that's the version number of the environment,
not the compiler. The compiler proper would be somewhere around
version 12.

In fact, there was never a version 6 of Microsoft's C++ compiler.
Versions 1 through 3 of "Microsoft C" were really Lattice C with
different packaging. Versions 4 though 6 were written by Microsoft,
but compiled only C. Only versions 7 and newer claim to compile C++
(and what version 7 compiled barely qualifies as C++ any more).

I guess I need to clarify my nit picking. The second sentence
I interpreted as the OP has version 6.0 of the C++ language
installed on his machine. My nit pick was about there not
being a version 6.0 of C++ language and that the language
and translators were two very different objects.
