Huh. Well, I always run MSVC in administrator mode, although I couldn't tell you how to run it in administrator mode from the command line :/
Obviously it's some sort of permissions problem. You could just make everything in the MSVS directory read/write/executable by everyone.

I've tryed it and the problem doesn't go away. I've reinstalled the MSVC, but it didn't work too. :|

You need to browse to the directly where the executable file (devenv.exe) is located, otherwise the command line doesn't know where to look.

The only exception to this is executables located in the System32 directory (this is where all of the common command apps are stored).

For example: "cd C:\Program Files\MSVC\" (I have no idea what the directory is actually called)

I've discovered the problem! I opened the executable (devenv.exe) with notepad++ and what did i found there? NOTHING! Yes, that's right. NOTHING! So that's why it's not working. Thanks for the support dandymcgee and MaurauderIIC
