DEVENV does not work from Vista's command line...

Hi All,

I have a batch file that uses devenv.exe to build my VS solution. I recently upgrade my OS to Windows Vista. After the upgrade, the call to devenv.exe does not work any more.

I tried to run devenv.exe from the DOS command line, and nothing happens. As soon as I press enter key, it comes back to the DOS prompt.

Is this one of the "security enhancement" features in Windows Vista?

Thanks.

Yes, you need to run it as admin. Alternatively a shortcut can be created, and then in its properties window, Shortcut tab, Advanced button, select the checkbox "Run as administrator". That avoids to right-click each time...

David,

If you have UAC enabled you will need to run the command line with Administrator privileges.

Find the Command Prompt icon, right-click it and choose "Run as Administrator". Then accept the User Account Control prompt
