i did the following... i copied my cmd.exe from system32 to the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin" folder and now it seems to be compiling.

apparently there is path reading issue with VC... so if u change %SystemRoot%\system32 to C:\WINDOWS\system32 you should be ok. or just copy the file over!
