They are environment variables. In the Windows Start Menu, you should a sub-
menu named "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008", then the sub-sub-menu "Visual 
Studio Tools", then the menu entry "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 Command 
Prompt". That menu entry opens a windows shell windows, in which all the 
needed environment variables are defined (among them, INCLUDE, LIB, LIBPATH, 
and PATH). Without them, Visual C++ is unable to find its own STL headers and 
libraries.
