Does your compiler dialog also list "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 10.0 (amd64)?
Then you could use this compiler (or x86_amd64 when you are on a 32bit Windows).
setenv.cmd only maps to these compilers.
Maybe the Windows SDK entries for the compilers are superfluously. Could you check
how many cl.exe versions are on your system?

If you can't find a existing report file a new one. There will be some cleanup in 2.7.

I've fixed the autodetection code, could you check if this version works:
