This works for me:

"cmd /c call "%VS90COMNTOOLS%\vsvars32.bat" & devenv /?"

Single &, not double, is how you chain stuff in windows.

I've always used a special bat file (in the repo), but that's because we 
do a lot of prep-stuff (lazy package download, setup & filter local 
paths, etc).

The above seems to work in a cmd-window at least. Give it a try and let 
us know how it went. :)
