I got the same problem trying to compile PythonCE.
I resolved it by creating en empty 'defpaths' list on line 365 of msevc.py
and manually added 'include_path', 'lib_path' and 'exe_path' to it.

It seems that when Scons cannot get that paths from the registry, it
gets values from that list, but the list is not initialised anywhere.


BTW : Use 'os.path.join' to indicate paths in the list to avoid backslahes
problems.
