Visual c++ 6.0

by Daniel Horton · in Torque Game Engine · 08/14/2004 (7:55 am) · 5 replies

My c++ install never asks me if I want to download and install the environment variables... I read on Microsofts website that this happens sometimes and they say to run a batch file that will fix the problem.. It doesn't. Does anyone know where else to download these from?

It's in where you've installed VC6, in the VC98/bin folder.
It's called vcvars32.bat, and should be run from a command line (cmd.exe or cygwin's shell)

Okay... so I tried to run the batch file origionally from windows (cuz that's what Microsoft says to do), and that didn't work... cmd.exe won't run on my computer (cuz I'm running '98)... So I downloaded cygwin and I have no idea how to use it... Is there an easy way to go about running this batch file from cygwin?

Oh, on win98, use the ms-dos command prompt to run vcvars32.bat

Yeah... I did all that... it said that it was out of environment space... I don't get it... Microsoft isn't being much help either. thanks for your help though... any other ideas?
