I would say that's it pretty much sufficient to find the trouble.

Actually, the trickiest part for those steps is to set up a correct env. 
so if you know the env that has been set up (displayed in stdio log), as 
well as the command he is trying to call (also displayed), you should be 
able to debug it quite a bit.

Manually, launching the "Visual Studio 2008 Command Promt" should bring 
you to the same environment, then moving to the right directory and 
calling the same command as he do should give the same result. Try 
comparing those two states.

You can post your "stdio" as well if you don't find anything.

Regards
Benoit
