- "Unable to open message file" when running what command? NMAKE itself,
- or some command (ICC) started by NMAKE? If you're not sure your
- environment is setup correctly, create a TEST.CMD file, containing only
- "SET". Add that as a background tool, and run it -- it will list
- the entire environment. You should be able to use that information,
- together with which tool is actually failing, to narrow down the cause.
-
- One possibility: You say you're running CSETENV to set the environment
- up -- are you then starting WorkFrame from the same session (which is
- correct), or are you running CSETENV in one window, and then starting
- WorkFrame from another, or from the icon (which would be incorrect,
- in this case -- you have to start it from where the environment has been
- setup). -tim
