Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark v1.7.0 build issue with MSVC 2005

Hi,
I tried building the latest 1.7.0 code on WinXP (32-bit) and Win7 (64-bit) both having MSVC 2005. I am stuck with the error "'ml': is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" almost at the beginning of "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all."

Do I need to do something special to get past this issue? I searched for ml.exe in the MSVC installation folder, I did not find anything there. Though there is a file called ml64.exe. I have not installed either the VC run-time Redistributable package nor the PSDK. Do I need any of those?

Regards,
Pradip
