I guess you mean the following message:

cl -nologo -MD rtname.c user32.lib -link > nul
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

The error means that you did not install Platform SDK.
You must install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4.
Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_SDK
