Compiling Source Code

I am wondering who wants answer some questions for me related to .net framework sdk and dsw workspace files. Basicly I am trying to teach myself how to compile source code from windows, without actually owning a copy of expensive visual stuio 7 .net. I am using free .net framework sdk wich has the same compiler as vs7 .net. I am also using a Visual Basic Script called VCMake.vbs that will open and compile DSW Workspace files since i have Cl.exe from the .net framework sdk. ( see I am a trying to be a legitimate coder here and not a nasty software pirate. ;D ) So here is what happens i run the script and get 90 compile errors that say "Hey dude where are all your include files at?" (more or less) and I was smart enough (or knowlagable) to include all my lovely Windows SDK include files from PATH using the Environmental Varriables option under MY Computer/Propertys/Advanced tab. So basicly why dosent it find the include files..? I am basicly telling it where to go. Also I tested a simple Frame that i made with ASP.net Web Matrix that has only 1 include file in it and it too is unable to find the include file even when using simple Cl.exe (the VS7 .net compiler)
