Hello,

I got the following compiler error:
command line error MIDL1004 : cannot execute C preprocessor cl.exe midl

Output:
20>Creating Type Library...
20>Processing .\UnitConverter.idl
20>midl : command line error MIDL1004 : cannot execute C preprocessor cl.exe
20>Build log was saved at
"file://v:\MysolutionFoler\MyProjectFoler\DebugU\BuildLog.htm"
20>UnitConverter - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

When I Open VS2005 command prompt and run the commmands in BuildLog.htm file
the all work fine. But why I got the compiler error when build by VS IDE?

Please tell me if you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Haiping

Looks like your VC environment is not set. Try calling following command then compile your program
vcvars32
