That shortcut launches a batch file which calls other batch files which in turn call other batch files. In total, each invocation probably runs through several hundred lines of batch file spaghetti code. If you were to diff your environment variables after this batch file runs relative to the stock version, you’d probably be stunned by all the changes it makes. Up to about a decade ago, upon each new release of Visual Studio I would convert the predecessors to this script from BAT to Bourne shell format so I could use the Visual C++ tools under Cygwin, too, but I gave up when it grew to more than a few dozen lines of batch code. I recommend that you also not try to do by hand what this tangle of batch files does for you. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
