I already have the SDK. Are you saying that for VS.NET2005 you call
vsvars32.bat but for VC++Express I need to call setenv.cmd instead?

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\VSLauncher.exe" "%1"

Not sure if that is the right one. Does it take any params? Doesn't
sound like a command line tool. Would vcbuild mentioned by George

That's already done in Build.bat. It's the only vsvars32.bat anywhere in
my program files folder.
