how to build c++ project with scons 2.3 visual express 2012?

Question

I try:

env = Environment(ENV = {'PATH' : os.environ['PATH'], \
            'INCLUDE' : 'c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\VC\\include\\', \
            'LIB' : 'c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\VC\\lib\\'})

but it not working. error message: "cl" is not command ...

I found description in scons wiki(http://www.scons.org/wiki/PlatformSpecificNotes#Visual_C.2B-.2B-): If using Microsoft Visual C++, you need to set 'INCLUDE', 'LIB' and 'PATH' in your environment, then import them when you create your 'Environment' object. These will be used to locate the MSVC++ tools and set 'CPPFLAGS' etc.

What am I doing wrong?

complete sconstruct(it works on ubuntu, and on windows with mingw):

    current_dir = os.getcwd()#os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
