Hi Balint,

When using vcvars32.bat you __have to__ run it in the same shell session as ROOT.
I.e. you can not double click in vcvars32.bat, you have to start a shell (either
cygwin's bash or windows' cmd.exe) and type vcvars32.bat and then type root (in
the same window).

Cheers,
Philippe.

Hi,

So, it works now! Let me tell you what I did for it.

First of all I had a good feeling that I shouldn't use the newest Root 4.03/02 so I installed the 3.04/02, because it affors itself with VC++ 6.0  which I possess. The 4.03/02 recommends usage with VC++ 7.0. At least I clearly used those versions that match.

After this I got the same error messages that I had got before. Well, that was the point when I started to suspect that something must be really wrong with the vcvars32.bat file. I checked it again, but every env.var. was set to those paths where the ACLIC didn't find the necessary files. Okay, I went to System->Advanced->Env.Var. and put there the same Env.Vars that should have been set by the vcvars32.bat file, but which - for some reason that I don't know - didn't work.

Now, everything works fine, but the question is still there: Why doesn't that vcvars32.bat file set the env.vars?

Cheers and Thanks to everyone for Your help! :)
