That's correct, you shouldn't have to do anything special for OpenSSL, especially since you used Tools\buildbot\build.bat.

So the original error happened in the Tools\buildbot\build.bat build, and the newest error happened while building from the VS GUI?

Neither error makes sense to me yet though, so here's a few more questions that may or may not have any impact on things:

Have you tried building again from a completely fresh checkout (including re-downloading the OpenSSL source using Tools/buildbot/external.bat)?
Are you using the hgeol extension of Mercurial?
What version of Windows are you using?
Is VC++ updated completely (including service pack 1)?
What language/localization settings are you using (in Windows and VC++)?
Do you have anything installed that messes with cmd.exe?
What is your default codepage?

Anything else that may seem relevant, please let us know!
