You cannot install the Qt VS plugin on the Express edition of VC++. Assuming you got the moc to compile, you also need to make sure you're including the appropriate libraries (*.lib files) at link time. This goes under Project properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies.

You will need qtcore4.lib at a minimum.

Also make sure the Qt library path is in your library search path. On my computer it's c:\qt\4.6.2\lib.
