Permanently setting environment variables for VC command line environment

Question

Hello,

I am using VC command-line utilities (cl.exe), and I am getting annoyed by the fact that I have to manually run vcvars32.bat whenever I restart my console... Is there a way to automatically run a batch file on console start-up? Thanks!

P.S: I am using Visual Studio 2010 version on Windows 7.

Answer 1

Check in the start menu under Visual Studio 2010/Tools or thereabouts; there should be a shortcut to a console that automatically runs the batch file.

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio, point to Visual Studio Tools, and then click Visual Studio Command Prompt.
