can't find nmake.exe

[Jim P]

I'm currently running MatrixX 6.2.2 on Windows XP SP2.  When I try an run a simulation I get an error message, "Can't find nmake.exe" or something like that.

I've viewed some previous posts and the suggestions where dealing with VC compiler and running vcvars32.bat.  I've searched for this file on my PC and it doesn't exist.  It appears I don't have VC++ installed on my computer.  Does a version of this compiler get installed with the MatrixX install?

Where should I go from here?

Hi Jim,

nmake.exe is part of Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. So in order to run you simulation (probably with UCB are C code) to need to have Visual Studio installed and be sure that you register the environment variables when installing. In the help of the software, you can find the recommended compilers. We have try we a free bordland compiler and another make and it was not working. Visual Studio is the best.
