I have setup a new server machine. I setup windows sdk, .net framework sdk, and checkout my visual studio from svn. I would like to build my application using msbuild but it keeps asking me where the "windowsx.h" file is. I do not want to setup any visual studio ide. How can I make msbuild see windows sdk include folder using console?

With a normal install of Visual Studio you get a shortcut to a Visual Studio prompt. This sets all environment variables so you can use the compiler (and other tools) from the command line. First you can try to run msbuild from such a prompt. If that works add the necessary folders to the msbuild settings.

1A vcxproj file is an msbuild script, so just make changes in the GUI and see how they end up in the vcxproj. – Sebastiaan M Jan 20 '12 at 20:50
