vcbuildhelper.exe generates random .bat files

I’m using Visual studio 8.
I’m using an external compiler.
This compiler is called by vcbuildhelper.exe.
vcbuildhelper.exe creates a different .bat file for every build with a different number in the name everytime.
I have to click OK several times for every build I make.

Is there a solution for this?

Welcome to the forum Tmalfrere :slight_smile:

There are two solutions for this a easy one and a hard quite long manual one, but more secure.

The easy one go to Defense+ \ Computer Security Policy find the entry for vcbuildhelper.exe and change to Installer or Updater.

To change edit the entry change to Use a Predefined Policy choose Installer or Updater click apply click OK example screenshot below of a spool process.

If you wish the other one please post screenshot of .bat path used, Defence+ events.
