I cannot build the project with CMAKE cause it fails to build a "simple test program". The reason for that is that the Linker can't find 'user32.lib'. In my case this file is located in a directory different than MSVC++ because I am using the free MSVC++ Express Edition (so user32.lib is in the directory of the MS Platform SDK). So I thought "No problem, just use LINK_DIRECTORIES to add the SDK directory to the search path for libraries". But this doesn't work. The "simple test program", which seems to be needed by the PROJECT command, is still linked without the SDK directories.

You have not installed the Express Edition correctly.  Please look at the installation instructions
for MS SDK and MSVC Express.
