Resolving The Problem

QUESTION:

When having set up the Visual Studio 6.0 environment variables the following error is displayed in a pop up window, when trying to compile ("cl") or link ("link") from the command prompt:

"The dynamic link library mspdb60.dll could not be found in the specified path"

ANSWER:

The mssdb60.dll is located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin directory. Check that the path is set up correctly to include this directory.
Note: A space after the environment variable can cause this problem.
