First, a word of advice: if a test fails, it's best to try and figure out why
it failed _before_ installing it, unless you know what you're doing.
IIRC, you need to run vcvars32.bat before using Inline with Visual C++.
It's a batch file (which comes with Visual Studio) that sets up your
console to work with the command-line tools. Try running it and
rebuilding your application. Let me know if that fixes it.
Later,
Neil
