VS2005 Express does not include the Platform SDK (that contains all 
Windows headers and libraries), you need to download, install, and setup 
the PSDK separately. This error indicates that you either haven't done 
this, or failed to set it up correctly. See this article for help:

Yes, have you also found this wiki guide?

If you want to do this globally (in MSVC), you can change those folders 
from the Options found in the Tools menu, selecting "Projects" from the 
list, and VC++ Directories under that, and adding the directories to the 
appropriate Include and Library settings (use the dropdown in the top of 
the window to select which directories to change).
