VC++ doesn't want to build, says it can't spawn cmd.exe?
My Visual C++ 2008 Pro Edition doesn't complete building any program successfully, not anymore I mean. When it's done with the process, it displays this in the Error Description column:
"Error spawning cmd.exe" My CMD is fine. BUT, IT'S ALSO GOOD TO NOTE THAT THE PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR THE SAME DAY I DOWNLOADED Dev-C++. Might this be the problem? If yes, how to solve it, without uninstalling Dev-C++? If no, then what to do next? What is spawning anyway? Never heard of it before.

Spawning is referred to the process of one process launching another process.
If your cmd is fine, then your system path must have some problems.
goto system properties(right click my computer, properties) and goto the advances tab, click the environment variables button. In the new window, there should be something called PATH in the lower part of the window, select it and press edit. Make sure
c:\windows
and
c:\windows\system32
are in there, also these paths are to be seperated by a semi colon;
That might help your problem
