You may see the following error message when attempting to compile the LM-X distribution using Visual Studio Express Edition:

'devenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This error is due to different file names in Visual Studio versus Visual Studio Express. The file devenv.exe is the name of the IDE executable for Visual Studio editions. For Visual Studio Express editions, each IDE executable has a different name, specifically: Visual C++ 2005/2008/2010 Express Edition - vcexpress.exe.

To solve this problem, copy the attached batch file (scroll down for attachment), devenv.bat, to a location such as C:\Windows where it will be added to the system path and recognized from the command line. LM-X will then compile normally.
