Also remember to use withing visual command; vcvars64.bat in 12/VC/BIN/amd64 to inintialize the PATH= function, if you use, to see if you have it, try to use in Visual 64 bit tools command this command;
where nmake.exe
If this command does not find nmake.exe and you still have it in amd64 folder. Run this command; in folder Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 for Micros~1.0. Depenidng on if VC12 was installed first, then Micros~1.0 can be 2.0.

Having a hard use, make a .bat file for each time loading in windows\ for own fast start. You have to use cd.. , to run a .bat not in system32.
1Isn't there a standalone nmake to download instead of installing the whole VC Express? – Pacerier – 2016-08-03T20:30:58.117

No, there is not a standalone download. NMake is part of Microsoft's build toolchain. Visual C++ Express (or Visual Studio Community) is just an easy way to get those tools. As others have mentioned you can also get it from the Windows SDK.
