Well I was able to reinstall the SDK and reinstall all of steam into a directory without spaces. Along with the tutorials for minor updates I was able to get it to compile. Yay!!! however Walter I think you are onto something. All the include files are created, but only one .vcs which is:
SDK_Unlitgeneric_lightingonly.vcs No other .vcs files were created and I used the script to compile mycustomshaders.txt and stdshader_dx8 and 9. The include files are created flawlessly. However no .vcs, the makefile for my shaders contains the following(from the SDK nightvision tutorial): default: "fxctmp9\post_nightvision_ps20.inc" "shaders\fxc\post_nightvision_ps20.vcs" "fxctmp9\PassThrough_vs20.inc" "shaders\fxc\PassThrough_vs20.vcs" clean: del /f /q "fxctmp9\post_nightvision_ps20.inc" del /f /q "shaders\fxc\post_nightvision_ps20.vcs" del /f /q "fxctmp9\PassThrough_vs20.inc" del /f /q "shaders\fxc\PassThrough_vs20.vcs" fxctmp9\post_nightvision_ps20.inc shaders\fxc\post_nightvision_ps20.vcs: ..\..\devtools\bin\updateshaders.pl ..\..\devtools\bin\fxc_prep.pl post_nightvision_ps20.fxc ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_ps_fxc.h ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_hlsl_cpp_consts.h ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_fxc.h "..\..\devtools\bin\perl.exe" ..\..\devtools\bin\fxc_prep.pl" -shaderoutputdir shaders -source "..\.." post_nightvision_ps20.fxc echo post_nightvision_ps20.fxc>> filestocopy.txt echo ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_ps_fxc.h>> filestocopy.txt echo ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_hlsl_cpp_consts.h>> filestocopy.txt echo ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_fxc.h>> filestocopy.txt fxctmp9\PassThrough_vs20.inc shaders\fxc\PassThrough_vs20.vcs: ..\..\devtools\bin\updateshaders.pl ..\..\devtools\bin\fxc_prep.pl PassThrough_vs20.fxc ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_hlsl_cpp_consts.h ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_vs_fxc.h ..\..\materialsystem\stdshaders\common_fxc.h "..\..\devtools\bin\perl.exe" ..\..\devtools\bin\fxc_prep.pl" -shaderoutputdir shaders -source "..\.."
