Where is the C compiler located on disk for Visual C++ 2008 Express?

I'm trying to set up the Hg-Git Mercurial Extension, which recommends using the C compiler for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. I've installed Visual C++ 2008, but I can't figure out where the C compiler is located so that I can add it to my path.
