In Visual Studio 2019 you can find cl exe inside   32-BIT   C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community VC Tools MSVC 14 20 27508 bin Hostx86 x86 64-BIT   C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community VC Tools MSVC 14 20 27508 bin Hostx64 x64   Before trying to compile either run vcvars32 for 32-Bit compilation or vcvars64 for 64-Bit   32-BIT    C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community VC Auxiliary Build vcvars32 bat  64-BIT    C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community VC Auxiliary Build vcvars64 bat    If you can t find the file or the directory  try going to C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community VC Tools MSVC and see if you can find a folder with a version number  If you can t  then you probably haven t installed C   through the Visual Studio Installation yet
