in thread Attempt to embed Perl in C on Windows

The reason for running in the windows dir was that I used the installed link to the command line of MSVC - it sets the path for c compiler in that cmd window only.

If you right click the Start menu item for that shell, select Properties, the second edit field on the Shortcut tab is the 'Start in:' path, which you can change to point anywhere you want it.

Come to that typing cd \path\to\MyProject once, is a lot quicker than type /Fe \path\to\MyProject\MyExe.exe /Fo \path\to\MyProject\myexe.obj ... everytime!
