Programming Forums - View Single Post - [Batch] Setting up Visual Studio build script

I am writing a script that will compile libraries using the Visual Studio compiler. But I am stuck with setting the Visual Studio environment variables. To do this I have to run the "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" file. If I start a command line client and runs the file it works fine, and I can run the compiler (cl.exe) without being in its directory. But If I do the same thing through by batch file, the command line client simply exits after the execution of the "vcvars32.bat file". Why? Tha batch file looks like this, so far...

(Toggle Plain Text)

"%VS90COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"
pause

The "pause" line is never reached.

Thanks for your help!
