VC6 Build Problem

Has anyone seen this error:
--------------------Configuration: Torque Demo - Win32 Release--------------------
Performing Custom Build Step on ..\engine\math\mMathSSE_ASM.asm
C:\projects\torque1_1_1\torque\vc6>echo off
nasm: unable to open output file '.\../engine/out.VC6.RELEASE/mMathSSE_ASM.obj'
Error executing c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe.
torqueDemo.exe - 1 error(s), 10 warning(s)
nasm.exe and nasmw.exe are in the path, as well as the VC6 directory. VS6 + sp5 are working correctly. If I play with the make files, I can build this correctly under cygwin with cl.exe from the commandline, but that's a tedious thing to do. Any insight or suggestions would be very useful.
Please Note: I disable Norton AntiVirus AutoProtect before I do the Build Steps.

This is 1.1.1.

Run the two .reg files in there and all should be good.
Otherwise you'll need to edit your project settings to locate the nasm files for your project.

Did you run the two registry files in the VC6 directory? That's the most overlooked step in the process I think :)Run the two .reg files in there and all should be good.

I created two batch files, and build the asms for rel & debug first, then do the full build in vc6.

nah, I get this same problem, and have since last summer. You're lucky though - when I get it, my system usually crashes.I created two batch files, and build the asms for rel & debug first, then do the full build in vc6.

Those slashes look suspect to me. Could this be the old "forward/backslash" bug again?

I did do the reg entries, so that's not it. I'm rather preplexed by the whole thing.

Dam thing happens to me too. I fixed it once, but I forgot how... :( *kicks himself for not writing it down, or writing it down and forgetting where...* :)
