Hi Marcel,

Exactly. :-)

I tried installing Cygwin now, too, but I still do not succeed.  
I ran `scripts/installCygwin.bat`, then started a Cygwin session and ran the `mvm` script from there. But still, `Windows.h` is not found. Is this what I am supposed to do?

However, I tried MSVC, too (this would be my preferred way over Cygwin). So, again strictly following the `HowToBuild` file, I opened an x86 Native Tools Command Prompt, navigated to `build.win32x86\squeak.cog.spur\`, executed `..\common\SETPATH.BAT` and finally `..\common\MAKEDEBUG.BAT`. Now guess what `type LOGD` will give me?
```
../../platforms/win32/vm/sqWin32Utils.c:11:10: fatal error: Windows.h: No such file or directory
```

So I guess the `HowToBuild` instructions much miss some significant point on how to these headers ... :-(

Best,
Christoph
