Make sure that the location of "cl.exe" is in your PATH environment variable. Or better yet: I seem to remember that VC++ installs a start menu entry that says something like "Open VC++ Command Prompt". That one will have all the necessary environment additions to run cl.exe successfully. Use it and then try to nmae Crypt-DES again. HTH - Tobias
