What is the error " 'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" means?

you need to provide some details on the environment you are using (OS, IDE, compiler, etc)

os is window xp sp2, Qt Creator 2.2.1 based on qt 4.7.4, msvc2008

cl is the command to start your compiler. There must be something broken for this setup.

I assume there is at least a problem with the environment for the failing project.

Is it just this project you cannot compile?
If you other projects using similar setup, you need to to check, if those are compiling.

Your environment for this project is somehow not setup properly.

ok can you say why this happens?

I expect as Andre that your project is somehow not setup properly. However, we need a crystal ball to understand thoroughly with the little information we have.

I would suggest to set up a new project and see if this is compiling properly. Possibly this was only one occassion. If not, you probably have to check the installation of qt creator.

Could you explain what was wrong, so others may learn from it as well?
