First question - is that exact version of the compiler supported for your release?

IBM's 8.7 system requirements indicate that Microsoft Visual C++ 2003/2005/2008/2010 Express Edition are all acceptable.

I installed IIS 8.7 on XP Pro. VM with MS VC++ 2010 with these settings in Syatem Variables:

INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include
LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib

My 8.7 installation is working absolutely fine.

I have a new 8.7 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2

INCLUDE=E:\IBM\SQLLIB\INCLUDE;E:\IBM\SQLLIB\LIB;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include
LIB=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib;E:\IBM\SQLLIB\LIB; C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib
LIBPATH=C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

The compiler is the Visual C++ compilers installed via the installation options of Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.

APT_COMPILER=cxx
APT_LINKER=cxx
APT_COMPILEOPT=-W/TP -W/EHa -DAPT_USE_ANSI_IOSTREAMS -c -W/Zc:wchar_t-
APT_LINKOPT=-s -W/dll -W/base:0x50000000 -W/Zc:wchar_t-

The same problem is occurring on this system.
Compiler "cl" not found.

Haven't really begun to look at it yet.

Thanks so much -- so good to know it can work!

Is your XP host 32-bit or 64-bit?

What flavor of the compiler is it -- is it the Express Edition?

mobashshar · Post by **mobashshar** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 7:35 am

Its XP Pro 32 bit and compiler is Express Edition.

We have now tried VS C++ Premium 64-bit on our Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 64-bit for InfoServer 8.7 and get the same results as before when we try to compile with a transformer.

Our LIB, LIBPATH, INCLUDE and PATH env vars all look good as well as the compiler options in the dsparams file -- unless I'm missing something. What on earth is wrong here? IBM system requirements indicate that this is a legitimate combination. Has anyone gotten this to work in a true 64-bit Windows environment? Any ideas?

You installed C++ compiler on your 64-bit OS but you are pointing to 32-bit path in system variables for LIB and INCLUDE

INCLUDE=d:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\INCLUDE;c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\include;

LIB=d:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\LIB;c:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\lib;

Make sure its pointing to 64-bit installation path (which will be without x86)

Please let me know if this approach is working or not

Please open this page and search for Setting up a C++ compiler

lmoose1 · Post by **lmoose1** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:19 pm

Thanks, mobashshar -- that was worth looking at and verifying. We don't see any SDKs in the regular "Program Files" directory, only in the "Program Files (x86)" directory. We double checked and verified that we did select the 64-bit options when we installed Visual Studio C++ 2010 Premium. Still looking and poking at it to try to determine what is missing or out of line...

Ray -- Interesting that you have a very similar situation! Any thoughts on the cause or resolution?

ray.wurlod · Post by **ray.wurlod** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:05 pm

Too busy on other matters at the moment. Things that don't need the compiler. Things such as this error message from the istool command:

It's working now! Several things were uninstalled, reinstalled, adjusted, so not completely sure which twist resolved it. Here are the values that are working for us now in IS 8.7 on the Windows 2008 R2 64-bit host.
