Hi zeba,

This file was stored in \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Version\Common7\Tools or Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Version\Common7\Tools.

More info about it:

Hi Zeba,

What about this issue now?

Like the link provided by Fletch:

The VsDevCmd.bat file is a new file delivered with Visual Studio 2017. Visual Studio 2015 and earlier versions used VSVARS32.bat for the same purpose. This file was stored in \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Version\Common7\Tools or Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Version\Common7\Tools.

If you use old VS version, you would check the VSVARS32.bat file. It has no VsDevCmd.bat file. 

Best Regards,

Jack
