Hold on. So this is a source meant for Windows platform which installs a Windows software? If that's the case, don't try to build it on Linux. Succumb and build it on Windows. Look for Visual Studio Express Edition, and use the Windows version of that (you cannot use the Web Edition or the Windows App edition of the Express to compile console apps).
Given that the source is probably very old, it won't be straight forward to compile this even on Windows!
