I've been looking at the build log you sent and there is definitely something weird about your build environment.
The root problem occurs at this point in the build log: #include "pch.h" 'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, At this point neither cl.exe nor lib.exe appear to be in your path. But then once the build leaves the csharp\csharp\shared directory it seems to be okay again. Now this is very strange: how could cl and lib fall out of the path but only for one directory? My suspicions fall on the rather odd path in your build. The path to your SSCLI directory shows up in the build log as d:\sscli_~1\sscli. Normally you would not be seeing a short file name here if you were using the 32-bit command interpreter, cmd.exe. I've seen cases where people are using command.com (the 16-bit command interpreter) and thinking that it was the normal one. Various bad things will occur using command.com such as severe restrictions on path length. You should make sure that your shortcuts for command consoles all point to cmd.exe and not command.com. The other strange thing is that in your other postings your path to the SSCLI directory looks to be D:\sscli_\sscli but in the build log the 'sscli_' shows up as a short file name. However, it shouldn't be a short file name even in a 16-bit command window. There is a known issue if the path to the SSCLI directory contains a Unicode character so perhaps the "_" is actually a Unicode char? My suggestions are: 1) Make sure you are using cmd.exe 2) Extract the SSCLI into a new directory like d:\test\sscli with no spaces or other odd characters. If this doesn't solve the problem, could you mail me the output of a SET command from a SSCLI build window? There problem is in the environment so we'll need as much data as we can get on that.
