SYMPTOMS

When you use the Visual Basic .NET compiler (VBC.exe) to compile from a command prompt with a response (.rsp) file that references many assemblies, you may not be able to compile, and you may receive the following error message (or a similar one):

vbc : Command line error BC2017 : could not find library 'c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705\temporary asp.net files\vbwebapp\093b8894\b238cf87\assembly\dl\c0d82e1f\043d'
vbc : Fatal error BC2000 : compiler initialization failed unexpectedly: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

For example, this problem may occur if you use the following command at a command prompt:

VBC.EXE /@response_file.rsp


NOTE: The /@ option is not available from the Visual Studio IDE. This option is available only when you compile from the command prompt. This cannot be changed programmatically. This problem is more likely to occur with Microsoft ASP.NET applications because these applications use a command-line compiler.
