Windows.h is part of the Platform SDK (which is available for free too).
You need to download/install it first.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sdkintro/sdkintro/devdoc_platform_software_development_kit_start_page.asp

If you already have the SDK, then you have to call setenv.bat instead of
"%VS80COMNTOOLS%\vsvars32.bat" in the build script.

What application is started when you doubleclick on a *.sln file? That's
the one you have to call instead of devenv. I thought that VC-Express
had the same name?

Also, maybe you have to call a vsvars32.bat file inside your VC-Express
installation folder too before you call the build script.
