I doubt you will succeed: it _should_ be easier to build LilyPond on 
Windows using MinGW, since that already includes a GCC. However, when I 
tried some time ago, there were too many hurdles to tear down, and I 
eventually gave up.

Given those difficulties, I fear it is even more difficult to get it to 
compile with VC++ (especially since VC++ 6.0 comes with its impressive set 
of C++ incompatibilities).

Having said that, if you get it to compile I will praise you eternally.
