hm, as far as I know you don't need to copy those files into the bin 
folder, that won't work at all - you better try to go into your ide, 
there is an option somewhere in the options/directories dialogue where 
you can add paths to (for me it is 'VC++-Verzeichnisse' ). there you 
need to add your sdk's bin folder in the executable section, include 
folder in the include section etc. I have added my kderoot/bin /include 
/lib there as well, but I don't think that you need it.
I have used VC Express 05 and the 2k3 R2 sdk.

If you have the time you can join #kde-windows on freenode.
