I had the same problem when I first started using ODE. I'm not sure, but I think the problem is that vcvars32.bat doesn't set the path correctly. So I set the paths manually. I tried setting the path in the DOS command line, but it didn't work. So I set the path in Windows. I think with Win2000 you can do this by going to Control Panel. I forgot where exactly, but look around for the dialog that allows you to set the path, then use these (assuming VC6 is installed in "program files\micros~3"):

PATH=	"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Common\msdev98\BIN";
	"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\BIN";	
	"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Common\TOOLS";
	"c:\windows\SYSTEM";
	
INCLUDE= C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE;
	 C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\INCLUDE;
	 C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE;
	
LIB=	C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\LIB;
	C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\MFC\LIB;


I think the basic steps in building ODE in Windows are: Run vcvars32.bat (this didn't work, so use the steps outlined above), this just sets the path; edit the settings in the file config/user-settings; Make a "lib" folder in the ODE directory; Type "make all" (make sure you have make.exe);

I may have forgotten some other thing that needs to be done. Just mail me if it didn't work. I'll try to help.
