Ok, i had this problem with VC++ 6.0 out of nowhere about a week ago, at which time it was installed on my d:\ drive(hard disk).
So i uninstalled and reinstalled on my c:\ drive and its STILL doing it.
It says for any and every program when u try and compile:
And thats ALL it says, WTH?!?!--------------------Configuration: hello - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
Error spawning cl.exe
hello.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
whoa... I've never got that error, and I certainly don't like the sound of "Error spawning cl.exe"
neither do i considering this is a new install on a totally diff drive...
Have you installed anything else lately? Sounds like something's corrupted.

No to the recent install
Did you ever have a previous version or previous installation of this version of VC++?
5, i put in my 6.0 cd and the auto upgrade ran thru and it worked fine since i became a member here, it just started this out fo nowhere.
Odd. cl.exe is the actual compiler running underneath the IDE. Whenever I've had this problem reported before, I have advised de/re-installing. Of course, de-installers are notoriously bad at removing everything.
I would suggest deinstalling, then reinstalling where it was originally.

I talked to R-or-D on AIM... apparently, this is what he did...
He had VC installed pn D:\... then he MOVED IT to C:\... and changed the shortcut targets!lol!
AND, he's running a terrabyte raid with FAT32 using XP Enterprise! geeeezuz boy!
Not quite, i had it on d:\. Then the hard drive that was d:\ became e:\ cuz i moved it two secondary master rather then prim slave.
So then i took all the d:\programfiles\...... and made the "d:\" "e:\" :P
Then i made a new install on c:\ after del'n the obvious registry entries.
As far as the FAT32 it was a rush install to get a paper done, and i used fat32 cuz it formats faster. I intended to make it ntfs very soon after but, ya know. I gotta wipe in the next day or two now *shrug*.
i got the same error when i had error in my code!!!!! GAH, good thing i scrolled up in that pane and found what line it was on
i had that problem before just reinstall and you should be a-ok
re-installed 5 to many times, gotta wipe.
