The wonders of VS2005 express, for some reason its default install is
not configured with any windows API paths. 2008 is ok for this as is non
express.

What you need to do, is configure the paths inside VS2005. Open it up
and go to tools->options, in the window that opens up select, Projects
and Solutions -> VC++ Directories, then in "show directorys for" combo
select Include Files

Add the new path

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include

then change the combo to Library Files and add a new path

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib

Close VS and go back to your cmake, it should all work now.

We need to wiki these steps and caveats for VS2005 Express somewhere
