The "VC" in the file name should hint that it's Visual C++ (this guess is in
fact correct).

Since there is a compiler included with the Platform SDK (or Windows SDK or
whatever the name is for the latest version) and you'll want that anyway on
a build machine, why don't you start by installing that and see if the
"Build Environment" scripts it sets up don't do everything you wanted
vcvarsall.bat for.
