[Buildbot-devel] VC8 and VC9 errors and lack of logs

[Rishi Verma]

Hi All,

I played with this some more and discovered a few things.  Since I had /UseEnv enabled, devenv was choking on it, changing the command to devenv.com fixed that issue and actually produced output for stdio, warnings and errors.

The VC9 builds still seem to fail, setting the command to devenv.com made it easier to figure out, which clearly showed that it was running the wrong version of Visual Studio, it was still running VC8 devenv and therefore could not use my newer solution file.  

Any work arounds to the VC9 issue, besides rewriting environment setup step?

Cheers,
Rishi
