Re: [GD-Windows] Running VS2005 cl.exe without installing

[Alen L. <ale...@cr...>]

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the tips!

Installing anything (other than the OS and the Perforce client) is
what I'm trying to avoid, in order to simplify the process of adding
new build machines. :)

So far I seem to have tracked this to the fact that cl.exe from
VS2005SP1 actually requires an older version of the msvcrt80.dll and
its manifest and it refuses to work with the ones distributed with
VS2005 SP1. Weirdly enough I don't find these installed in System,
WinSxS or VS2005 folders on my developer machine, but I have them in
the X360 and VS2003 folders. Strange as hell, but it might work.
