Can you run cl.exe from the command-line?

Have a look in the .plg file in your project directory, it should give you the exact command-line it was trying to use, try running that and looking for error messages.

codeka.com - Just click it.
I got this too recently. I thought my installation was messed so I unistalled and reinstalled, but the error persisted. After a little registry hacking and rebooting, I fixed it. Immediately after I found an easier solution:

Go to your Tools->Options->Directories and changes the executables directories to include where cl.exe is.

Ah. That would explain it. Seems cl.exe was "magically" deleted at some point and time. ... along with the rest of the VC98 folder. :|

Ta very much.
