Jim,

Yes you need to have MSSdk environment variable defined.

The only reference to this in the documentation seems to be:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/rn/f34-998197.html#f34-1011313
"The environment variable MSSdk must be defined. The value of this 
environment variable is the path to the installation directory for Microsoft 
Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003.  This environment variable is not 
commonly defined by the Microsoft Platform SDK installation program."

Hope that helps.

Gadi
