Can't Find MSPDB80.DLL

[herge]

 
Hi There:

If You attempt to use ML.EXE with out Starting VC2005 C++ compiler you
will get an error about MSPDB80.DLL
Put the Directory that contains the MSPDB80.DLL in the PATH.

You most likely already figured this out, but environment variables can be set by right-clicking on "Control  Panel",
then choose "Performance and Maintenance".  Select the "System" tab and at the bottom there will be a button for
"environment variables".  You will see these are divided up into "user variables" and "system variables",
and in the list one should be "PATH".  If you highlight that one and click edit, then you can add

Code Select Expand


C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE;

To the end of PATH.

Don't forget the semi-colon at the end if you put it first, or you can scroll through all the
others and insert it at the end. Don't try to copy or move the dll file to a different directory
it Will Not Work!

This will fix the problem.

I copied that DLL in the BIN folder of Visual Studio %VSBIN%
Or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin
