MS C++ 2005 express database mismatch error when compiling

Well, I belive it is not really a compiler bug.
Here are steps how I got it and solve:

1. I like to compile some sources from the command prompt, so I added to the PATH environment variable - "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin/". After that I had to copy some files from "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/Common7/IDE/" to get cl.exe working (one of files was mspdb80.dll).
2. Some time later I tryed to compile a project from MSDev and got C1902 error.
3. With MSDN search I got to this place to see Jonathan Caves's helpful message about mspdbsrv.exe.
4. I just copied that EXE to /VC/bin/ and everithing becomes Ok.
5. Now I can compile anything from both MSDev and C:/ :).

IMHO this problem arises when mspdb80.dll exists in some of directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable, but mspdbsrv.exe does not. By default, both of them are not on the search path, so just guys like me who are copying files around HDD are able to face this problem :).

Thanks for help. Hope this post will be of some use.
