Fixing Error cannot open file 'ÿþ/.exe'
I ran into this error when I tried to run the engine on my desktop at home. It took me awhile to find the solution, so for those who are having the same problem as me here's what you need to do.
 
1. Go into your SysWOW64 folder under C:\Windows or wherever you have it at.
2. Replace the files c2.dll and cl.exe with the ones under the bin folder of your Visual Studio directory. For me it's under (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin). You might want to make backups of those files. 
That's all you need to do in order to compile the engine. The problem is that those files under SysWOW64 are horrendously outdated, and since it's the folder Visual Studio looks at for those files you just need to replace them with the newer versions.
