Help. No Nmake.exe file in my visual studio code folder
 
I am getting an error nmake is not recognized as internal or external command.
I read some info and seems like i need to add nmake.exe to environmental variable path.
Here is the problem, I was told bin folder in visual studio code should have nmake.exe file, but nmake.exe file is not present. I installed visual studio recently. I added CPP extension to my visual studio as well.
Why is there no namke.exe file in Visual studio code folder?

You should never need to call nmake.exe directly and you won't even find it in recent versions of VS. Make sure your VS is installed correctly and please check out this FAQ. Finding nmake.exe is not the goal, correctly installing MSVC is (and Fluent). There is an entire cascade of batch scripts that are run before nmake is called. nmake not found is the symptom, not the cause.


Even if you were to add the location where nmake is found into your path, the rest of the compiler still won't work.

Hi Lucky Tran,
Thanks for the input. I will go through FAQs and see if I could be able to find the problem with my installation.
