The solution says:

"Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 also needs to be installed  
when using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition."

I assume you have not installed it. Google for it, download, while  
installting either note the default path or install to a location of your  
choice. Now use this path value for the steps above.

Note: If a solution is not clear, feel free to leave feedback (there is a  
button on the top). I know for a fact that this is looked at regularly and  
solutions updated if required.
