[Bug 19779] New: Visual C++ 2005 Express: cl.exe can't find mspdb80.dll

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19779

Summary: Visual C++ 2005 Express: cl.exe can't find mspdb80.dll
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Installer
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Running cl.exe fails with

err:module:import_dll Library mspdb80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.exe" failed, status c0000135

unless you run it from 
Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/Common7/IDE/
where that dll was installed.

Copying mspdb80.dll to C:\Windows\system32 works, too.
(Note: cl's output vanishes in wineconsole, so if
you're running it in cmd in wineconsole, you have
to redirect it to a file to see that it's working.)

Could it be that the installer should be setting
some registry variable it's not?  Setting 'installer'
keyword on that theory, remove if I'm wrong.

(Naturally, cl failing makes the firefox build procedure fall over.)

It also can't find the service (mspdbsrv.exe) when you try to use -Zi,
so a somewhat better workaround is to copy mspdb* to system32.
See also bug 19781 for the next problem with mspb*.

This bug is probably invalid. I think happens on Windows also. Try running
cl.exe on Windows from cmd.exe. To get it to work on Windows, you have to run
vcvarall.bat first. I think the magic bit is that it adds C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE to the PATH.

I did try adding that to the PATH, without success, but maybe I screwed up.
I'll try it again.

Right, fixing the PATH to match vsvars32.bat did the trick.  Invalid.
