You are trying to run a program called vbc.exe

vbc.exe is located (by default) in
c:\winnt\Microsoft.net\Framework\v1.0.3705\

(the version number may be different depending on what version of the
framework you have installed).

When you run vbc.exe you need to tell Windows where vbc.exe is (if it is not
in the current directory):
a) type out the path, eg:

c:\> "c:\winnt\Microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705\vbc.exe" /t:library
...etc...

OR

b) Add it to the environment path. Windows automatically scans the Path to
see if a program is located in the path if it can't find the program in the
current directory. To see what folders are currently stored in the Path,
type Path at the c:\> prompt:

c:\>Path

Cheers
Ken
