Probably you have to include the path to your COM compiler in the environment variables of your computer. In the case of Java you have to set a java_home variable in the system variables and then add "%java_home%\bin" to the "path" environment variable of the system. Good luck! Simone

I cannot say why the message uses this particular nomenclature, but 'devenv' is almost certainly a refererence to 'devenv.exe', the executable program for Microsoft Visual Studios, and I am pretty sure its compiler(s) are stored in the same directory as this top-level executable. Thus, chances are that either: a) you do not have any Visual Studios and its compiler loaded on your host, or ... b) the PATH environment variable on your System (or for your user login) does not include the path to your Visual Studio's 'devenv.exe' directory. On my system with Visual Studio .NET 2003 that file is located in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE\ and that directory is in my PATH environment. To insert a path like the above in your Windows PATH environment you can right-click on your desktop's 'My Computer' icon, select "Properties" from the ensuing context menu, go to the 'Advanced' tab page on the 'System Properties' dialog and press the 'Environment Variables' button. You can then 'Edit' the current PATH definition of either your 'System variables' or your 'User variables' to include this path. James Jones
