I want to compile a code in software which is needed to call visual c++;My Os is windows cp professional; I've installed visual studio professional v10.but it still shows an error message indicating "check if bin directory of your visual c++ is included in the path environment variable", where this action must be done?

I added that Path but now it says " Check that Visual C++ has been installed correctly" how I gotta check? I executed a program in Visual C++ and it s working nicely.

Those instructions are not very good. – paradroid Aug 11 '10 at 14:28
Nothing wrong with those instructions, although I didn't know of setx. – Tom Wijsman Aug 11 '10 at 14:42
I think it is hard to edit long environmental variables in that GUI and it also seems a bit perverse! – paradroid Aug 11 '10 at 14:50

Go to 

System Properties (press windows key + pause/break)
Advanced
Environment Variables
System variables

Add the required path there

In a CMD prompt, type:

path

To add to your user account path:

setx path "%path%;C:\foo"

For the system path:

setx path "%path%;C:\foo" -m

Your visual studio installation should have added a menu item for under Tools for the VS 2008 command prompt - this will usually set the appropriate environment for you.
