There is an unfortunate collision with the search paths for 64-bit and 
32-bit linker:

1. If you let the installer patch sc.ini to use the latest VS 
installation, it will use the 64-bit linker, and the settings are ok

2. If the installer does patch sc.ini or if you just use the 
zip-distribution, the 32-bit linker is the default as it has the same 
installation path for all supported versions of VS.

I guess we could always add the line

PATH=%PATH%;%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin;%VCINSTALLDIR%\..\Common7\IDE

after the VS version specific lines.

According to commit log, this has been taking care of.
