From painful experiences with Windows and Visual Studio: Don't install anything in paths with white space or non-ASCII characters. Some Windows and VS/VC components can't handle paths with whitespace, and so do many build tools. Quoting the relevant paths would be possible, but no one does it, because different tools need different quoting. Uninstall VS/VC++ and reinstall it to C:\VS9 or any other path without whitespace (choose the "customize" option when the installer runs to select a different path). Do the same with any other program that deliveres libraries or headers. It's not nice, but it works. Sometimes, a little fiddling with the environment and the registry may also help, you "only" have to replace each and every occurance of a problematic path with it's 8.3-alias ("C:\Progra~1\Micros~2\VC\...").
