FIX: Error D8030 when you use the /MP option to try to build a Visual C++ project in Visual Studio 2010

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you try to build a Microsoft Visual C++ project, the build operation may fail if the multiple processes (/MP) compiler option is enabled in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Additionally, you receive the following error message in the Output window:
cl: Command line error D8030: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR in 'component_name '

Cause

This issue occurs because the GetEnvironmentStringsW function returns a raw pointer to an environment block instead of to a copy of the environment block during the compiling process. If the SetEnvironmentVariable function is called at the same time, the function changes the environment block and causes an error.
