This comes when qmake finds both compilers in the PATH variable - just set
your PATH to only one of them and you'll also be able to compile with
.net2003. Therefore I asked you not to run cmd.exe but 'Visual Studio 200x
Command Prompt'.

When msvc2005 is used with msvc.net qmakespec these stupid warnings occour.
msvc2005 qmakespec disables this warning (-wd4996).

So you real problem seems to be that you've both compilers in your PATH
variable and calling cl.exe from 2005 instead.

Also it seems you're using msvc2005 express and you don't have installed
platform sdk (express version comes without platform sdk...). See msvc2005
express version download page ->
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/
Maybe you also simply missed to install the part where winver.h is in (but I
really don't know in which package it is located)
