nmake not found while running scons -q

Hello all,
For the better part of the past hour I've been trying to spark some life into this engine of yours, but unfortunately, I've been unsuccesful.
As it's part of my school, I'm by now quite well schooled in Visual Studio 2008 combined with c++, but I have little understanding on python or scons. However, for the record, I do know how to read, google and search
Anyway, I've copied the py.tmpl file, made sure it said vs9, installed both python and scons, made sure the PATH was correct, then ran scons.
It found the files, tried to do nmake, but my command window gave a "Cannot find this file/program" on nmake, after which, obviously, scons crashed as well.
I went on finding this nmake, which I found snugly in my vs2008/c/bin map. To try to make sure it could find it, I added a PATH to said bin map. Now, barebonely in my command line, both scons and nmake gave a result.
However, when running scons again, it gave the same "Cannot find program" error.
I'm quite aware this isn't exactly an 'engine' problem, but I do still hope someone can help me fix it nevertheless, because your presentation considering this site is one of the better I came across while searching for a game engine to use, which is why I'm desperate to go the extra mile and at least get it to run
As a kind and well-ment suggestion, wouldn't it be helpful to add VS2008 solution/project files, so as to make it easier for VS2008 users to build and run it? *Disclaimer: Please don't kill me for not being a particular command line fan XD*
Thanks
