Error spawning df.exe

Intel_C_Intel — Sat, 24 Mar 2001 02:37:36 GMT

I'm trying to install and configure Visual Fortran 6.5 and receiving this error when attempting to build the sample celsius.for source file. If I execute df from the command line the program builds without errors.

Can someone help me diagnose this problem.

Thanks.

make sure df.exe directory is set in the path.

The usual cause of this error is not running Per-User Setup after installation. This is in the Visual Fortran program group.

If you are using Developer Studio, the PATH environment variable does not matter. The compiler is looked for in the set of directories listed at Tools..Options..Directories..Show Directories For..Executable files.

With some users, we have seen that they are missing the COMSPEC environment variable, or have a bad one - this can also cause the problem.
