I'm not clear on exactly how you are running cl.exe. Is it being
done from C# code, or from the Visual Studio IDE?

Can you run cl.exe from the command line? If so, it probably isn't a
permissions problem.

Instead of relying on the environment path to find cl.exe, try using
the full path to cl.exe when spawning it.

Hope this helps.
