Did you run the shell environment for VS2005? You find the link in the  
start menu.
If you did: You have to also install the Platform SDK (or Windows SDK  
or however it is called today).
Additionally, there is no automatic integration of that SDK into  
VS2005 Express (the buy-version does that), you have to do that  
manually. How to do that is described on some MS web page.
OR: install VS2008. The difference in the startup script of VS2008 to  
VS2005 can be used to integrate the SDK into VS2005.
