Answer 1

Well you need a C++ compiler from somewhere, certainly - and there's no C++ compiler in the plain framework (unlike C#).

Answer 2

Try the free Visual C++ compiler, that should get you what you are looking for.

You can find it here.

Answer 3

You can't build a .net project by using only .net framework's msbuild.exe You need to have a .net framework 2.0 SDK or you should have installed .net Studio. Better you install visual studio express edition and use MSBuild.exe to your app without opening visual studio's IDE.
