'LINK.EXE' is not recognized as an internal or ext

By: Ramlak  

As many have asked these questions in the forum, I am adding these question answers as an article here.

I am trying to use Series 60 SDJ version 8.0 to run the example. 
When I try to use makmake btobjectexchange.mmp vc7 
I get the following error in the command prompt: 

'LINK.EXE' is not recognized as an internal or external command,  operable program or batch file. 
ERROR: failed to find version information for LINK.EXE 

Please help 

Regards 

A: Search for this LINK.EXE in your computer. It will usually be in your Microsoft .NET installation folder. 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin 
Once you find this, add this folder to your 'PATH' environment variable. 

This should solve your problem. 

Best Regards

Thanks for the reply. I added the path, but now I get a different error: 

mspdb71.dll not found 

Is it path problem again?

A: Hi Adhi, 

Yes its your path again. 
This dll can be found in your MS .NET installation folder under the following directory. 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE 

Just add this to your path. 

hope it helped
