Umm, I don't know what you're talking about exactly. But let me get this
straight, it looks like you're saying you are annoyed that it didn't 'just
work' out of the box? :P

Yeah this is the inly compiler I have used so far where you can't just type `cl.exe helloworld.c` after installation and expect it to not crash - with an intention that you must use special environment wrapper before that is never mentioned to you during installation.

Yeah, the first I ever became aware about that environment script was when Walter pointed it out to me a few years ago.

I've never encountered anybody try and use MSC from the command line in about 15 years professionally. That's what I mean about this culture; it's the opposite of linux, and it outright rejects practises that are linux-like.

You're meant to open the .sln file and press the build button...

I'll tell my scripts next time that all they need is to press a build button, yeah

What's a script? Is that related to the command prompt? We left that behind in Windows95... ;)
