I'm surprised windows.h doesn't come with Express Edition - but I'm fairly sure it comes with the "platform sdk" - which is necessary for many of the modules anyway.
afxwin.h is an MFC header, and IIUC, that is not available without the full-blown MSVC. This will prevent you building pythonwin/win32ui - but should not prevent the COM and win32 packages building...
