VS2015 and TRACKER : error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "CL.exe".

[MichalP222]

Hi,

I installed VS2015 with update 1 on a W7/64 computer. On the same computer therere already VS2010 and 2013 installed.

When I try to compile a C++ project in VS 2015 in x86 configuration, everything works OK.

When I switch to x64 configuration, I get this error

TRACKER : error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "CL.exe". The system cannot find the file specified.

Tried:

- All kinds of C++ projects (console, MDI, …), they are all template-generated from VS2015, always the same problem

- Reinstalling VS2015 three times

- Installing VS2015 without Update 1, same problem

- switching platform toolset for the project to older v120, then the project compiles even as x64, but thats not the solution for me.

- Checked $(VC_ExecutablePath_x64), it’s value is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin”



When I look into folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64” the cl.exe is present.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
