Looking at the contents of vcvarsall.bat we can see that x86 parameter runs this: call "%~dp0bin\vcvars32.bat" The first is %comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86 which starts the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt from Start->Program files->\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008->Visual Studio Tools. Ok… let's dig into those darn *.bat files then. And of course because Murphy works his law like a magic the MSDN forums were down for maintenance. There were some results that proved useless until I found a link to MSDN forums post. My first thought was to add MsBuild path to the PATH system environment variable but that proved to be futile. To make matters more interesting one other coworker got the same problem while two others had no problems at all. The same thing happened if I tried csc.exe. 'msbuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command, Running msbuild /? resulted in this: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>msbuild /?

After I returned, my computer was one VS 2008 richer. I put the installation DVD in, choose custom install, pressed run and went to lunch.
On Monday I've finally installed the VS 2008 on my system.
