As far as I am aware, there is no such thing as VS2006, and .NET 2.0 is C# 2.0.

None of that makes any difference, environment variables are a function of the OS. You set them up the same as the book says. All that would change is the value you add to the PATH variable, depending on where it's set up on your system.

I would not bother anyhow, you're better off running compilation from the IDE, you'll never do it from the command line, unless you need to run build scripts.

There is no such thing as VS2006.

Did you look to see where it was Best guess:

E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin

E:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VSA\8.0\VsaEnv

E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

or

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

if you run windows 2000 ( assuming the IDE runs on W2000 )
