How to build a Project developed in VC++ in command line i am not visual studio(2003or 2005 or 2008)
I might not have understood your question fully, but using the /build param to devenv.exe will enable you to build a solution from the command line.

I am trying to compile on cmd using cl and it says that I'm missing mspdb110.dll.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: I added this file path to PATH C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin and the file is a standard hello world program
If you are trying to execute cl.exe from the command line, you need several environment variables added/modified. See here for further details:
Command line compile using cl.exe?
The version mentioned in that post is VS2010, for VS2012, you should be running 'Developer Command Prompt for VS2012', which will set the variables for you.
I want to take some of MSDN help files offline on a windows machine which does not have visual studio installed on it. the problem is that I cannot find a way to get and install Help Library manager and Help viewer without installing the visual studio or sql server.
How can I install them without installing the visual studio or sql server?
I just wrote an answer on how to do this for an older question, which can be found here.
For convenience, here are the essential steps to get Help Viewer 2.2 to run without going to the trouble of installing a complete copy of Visual Studio 2015:
Most of the files required by HlpViewer.exe can be found on the Visual Studio DVD in two different MSI packages. By passing some additional command line arguments to msiexec, it's quite easy to install them manually:
msiexec.exe /i help3_vs_net.msi VS_SETUP=1
msiexec.exe /i vs_minshellcore.msi MSIFASTINSTALL="7" VSEXTUI="1"
While this installs most necessary files, it doesn't account for all of them ... to keep things simple, I copied the rest of them from a working installation on another computer:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\HelpLibrary2
Essentially only contains a CatalogType.xml and some empty directories.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.2\CatalogInfo\VS11_en-us.cab
Moreover, it's necessary to provide the application with a valid ContentStore path by importing the following .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Help\v2.2\Catalogs\VisualStudio14]
"LocationPath"="%ProgramData%\\Microsoft\\HelpLibrary2\\Catalogs\\VisualStudio14\\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Help\v2.2\Catalogs\VisualStudio14\en-US]
"SeedFilePath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Help Viewer\\v2.2\\CatalogInfo\\VS11_en-us.cab"
"catalogName"="Visual Studio Documentation"
Finally, I created a new Application Shortcut and changed its Target: to read as follows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.2\HlpViewer.exe" /catalogName VisualStudio14 /launchingApp Microsoft,VisualStudio,14
Et voilà!, with that HlpViewer.exe should finally execute without any problems!
In MSDN to USB v2.5, you don't have to have any Visual Studio IDE installed:

I know its old question. I just run into a problem involving Help Viewer.
my recovery steps are :
get sqlexress installer (if you haven't got one)
after extracting the files, check its folder and find for "help" folder
I got mine "SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU\redist\VisualStudioShell\Help\x64"
run install.exe with administration priveleges (Run as Administrator)
all done.
I have a driver code working for win2008 server compiled using wdk7.1.0. I converted the project to compile in visual studio 2012 with wdk8.1 and created sln and vcxproj files. I compiled successfully and generated .sys and .inf files.
My question is I have some files need to be copied to the output directory as part of build process automatically (after generating .inf and .sys files).
For wdk7.1.0, I wrote a makefile in which I executed "-copy /y src.out dest.out" and copied as part of compilation.
In wdk8.1 as I am compiling using visual studio, is there any way to execute these commands as part of build? like can I edit .sln/.vcxproj files etc etc.
Thanks in Advance

You can use pre-build or post-build events properties of a project for this. You can call either a specific command or batch file to do such work.
I have a link script that links a bunch of obj and lib files into a dll. I'm trying to do the same thing in Visual Studio, but without any luck. Problem is that the project doesn't have any source files. The project needs to take all the lib and obj files and link them to a dll.
I'm not sure you can do it from Visual Studio, but you can do it from the Visual Studio Command Prompt with a command like this:
link /OUT:"Dll.dll" /DLL obj1.obj obj2.obj lib1.lib lib2.lib
Create Makefile project. In VC++ 2010: Visual C++ - General - Makefile Project. In the Project properties open Build command line: Configuration properties - NMake - Build command line. Enter the script name here. When you execute Build command, this script is executed.
I have to compile a Visual C++ solution from command line. I can't do it with devenv.exe but can install .Net Framework SDK. Can I use the solution and project files to compile from the command line? If so how?
If the .net framework SDK comes with msbuild, then just invoke:
msbuild mysolution.sln
That will cause a msbuild project to be generated from the solution, and the msbuild project will in turn instigate a call-out to vcbuild. All solution level and project level dependencies will then be resolved and built in-order as needed.
