I really doubt this since I work with this default installation without
any
problem. On which OS are you trying this?

I'm sorry it does not work for you, but I am not sure to understand
exactly how
you did things.

I would start by doing the following:
- Install EiffelStudio by not compiling any precompile libraries and
choosing
Microsoft as a C compiler.
- Follow the instruction at
http://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/index.php/Windows_64-bit_C_compiler
if
you
do not have Visual Studio C++ 2005 installed (2003, 2002 and 6.0 are still
supported but you may choose to have a more recent version of the C
compiler).
- Open a DOS prompt and type (where %ISE_EIFFEL% is replaced by the path
to the
location where EiffelStudio is installed):
  cd "%ISE_EIFFEL%\precomp\spec\windows"
  "%ISE_EIFFEL\studio\spec\windows\bin\ec.exe" -config base.ecf
-precompile
-c_compile

- If at the end of the C compilation, the directory
%ISE_EIFFEL%\precomp\spec\windows\EIFGENs\base\W_code\msc is empty, send
us the
full output of the previous command by filling a problem report at
http://support.eiffel.com
