Well, I do like a challenge. You haven't even told us what system you're on, for example.

No no, don't say, I recognize Visual Studio when I see it.

Let's see... Magic 8-ball says that your paths are no good. Now it depends on what Visual Studio you're using. Let's see.

Try Tools -> Options -> Directories. Now, I don't know what the resulting dialog box looks like, but there should be paths for the executable files. These should include the directory where cl.exe resides (likely something along the lines of C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio something something\Vc[0-9]\bin) and a lib directory much the same; if they don't, add them.

If you're using Visual Studio.NET, I have no idea, as it seems to manage these things automagically, and I haven't seen it fail yet.

If all else fails, you can always compile/make from the command line by opening the "Command Prompt" in your VS start menu.

Followups to the newsgroup this most likely belongs in: microsoft.public.vstudio.general.
