Early on I had a problem where vcvars32.bat did not execute properly when
invoked from within Express. I had to drill down through All Programs
and invoke from within Visual Studio Tools.

You should have "Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 
tools."
without any errors before using the terminal.

Anyway a couple things to check. I have tried unsucessfully 
to force a repo of failed includes.

 I tried making these changes...   it did not do anything different or help me 
in my situation of not finding the windows.h and winsock2.h. 

 I'd start over and rebuild the dev environment but its not a good option for me 
at this time.
