Subject:Visual C++ 2008

[DocHaydn]

Hello,
I'm running Windows XP-Pro.

This is my first try at C# programming; and using
Visual C++ 2008. I'm working from a tutorial, that I've found on the net.

I'm given the task of using the command-line compiler,
where I have to set a path from the following directory:
D:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v (version); using the
advanced tab of the System control panel applet: I suspect
the "environmental variable" tab.

I've found both of these locations; however, in the
Windows directory, this is what I have: D:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\
v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727, v3.0, v3.5.

Could you advise me which of these versions I have to use?

I must say that I also have Visual C++ 2005 installed, which I tried using to code in Ansi C; but I didn't want to learn Microsoft's proprietary code, and never used it.

Please forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum.

Thank you.

If you go under the Visual Studio Tools section within program files, you'll see a "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt". Use that...it sets up all ofyour variables for you.

Thanks for your reply macleod 1021.
I`m a bit of a noob when it comes to working with the command prompt.
I have opened it following Microsoft`s help files,
and typed (VACR..) something like that,(I`m not at my home computer), so I can`t remember exactly. Then I`ve entered
D:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\, choosing all of the above versions. However,the answer was:`No such internal program, or batch file.`

Could you give me a hint as to what must be done to set
the path?
Your help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.
