This results in an "atlbase.h" doesn't exist error because the platform sdk isn't checked. When VC10 Express is installed it sets the registry key at "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Setup\VC" which makes guess-msvc guess wrong. I put up an faq at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Windows_Build_Prerequisites to this effect, but it really needs fixing in MozillaBuild.
Any news here? Does anyone at least know why this happens?
I think Neil might have fixed this in bug 665982
