C++ Error Spawning cl.exe

Here is the situation:
Two or three specific students are in a MS Visual C++ 6.0 class. These few students receive the error message "error spawning cl.exe" when they try to compile on any machine in the computer lab. The rest of the class can run the same program, same exact source code just fine and dandy on any machine.
Where is this problem originating? Could this possibly be a roaming profile issue?

Possibly a roaming issue? Possibly a virus issue, or why should a _compiler_ want to spawn cl.exe? Maybe this file does exist on all other systems? I would advise you to check! I don't know of any compiler needing a cl.exe to compile, especially for the same source code.

I did a Google search for "error spawning cl.exe" (quoted for exact phrase), and got more than a dozen hits. Seems it is not uncommon.
Cheers

It's possible that your hard disk is too full. If the work space left for VC++ was not enough, it would fail to compile with that error generated.
