problems installing Qt opensource with msvc2008 support

If this is with Express:
To me it seems like your MSVC2008 install is bricked. Unlike 2005, the main headers needed for Windows installation (like the Windows.h missing here) come with the compiler.
So if Windows.h is missing, you might either have not launched the Visual Studio Command Prompt (which would be strange, since nmake seems to work), you uninstalled the headers, or may you moved some folders of MSVC around?

i tried to reinstall the msvc once again and to work from that, but still no luck, is not the express one, but it seems that is the QT that is missing some of the files or something from what i could see from the errors

windows.h is part of the ms toolkit. If it isn't there you have installed something wrong. If it is there you maybe did not execute vsvars32.bat / did not use 'Visual Studio Command prompt'. This has nothing to do with Qt.
