   I went to both places in VS 2008, and it’s not listed there.

   Hi Tina, try logging in to your computer using administration account (or account with administration previlege).

   Hi tarun,

   There is no .exe file. The shortcut is pointing to .bat file.
   For example VS 2010 command prompt, when you check the shortcut property it points to %comspec% /k “”C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat”” x86

   Good luck!
