I am using a batch file to try to build my cpp program using Visual Studio's cl.exe. This is what it contains:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\cl.exe" /I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include\" "%1" /Fe "%1.exe"
I want to the compiler to include iostream from the include folder and build my .cpp (%1) as %1.exe.
Instead, I get:
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 17.00.60610.1 for x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
cl : Command line error D8003 : missing source filename
What am I doing wrong?

Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio. Select the Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General property page. Modify the Additional Include Directories property.
includePath An include path is a folder that contains header files (such as #include "myHeaderFile. h" ) that are included in a source file. Specify a list of paths for the IntelliSense engine to use while searching for included header files.
In the Windows search bar, type 'settings' to open your Windows Settings. Search for Edit environment variables for your account. Choose the Path variable in your User variables and then select Edit. Select New and add the Mingw-w64 destination folder path to the system path.
Answer:
Get rid of the backslash at the end of the include path (...\...\include")
Do not surround %1 with quotes
no space between /Fe and ":
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\cl.exe" /I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include" %1 /Fe"%1.exe"

Do not run cl.exe from a standard command prompt. Use the "Developer Command Prompt" installed with VS 2015. This sets several environment variables for you, specific to your installation.
