Does the Visual Studio 2012 Express (Windows Desktop SKU) bundle the Visual C++ 2010 compilers (both 32-bit and 64-bit) as part of the project round-tripping feature or does this feature only work if Visual Studio 2010 is already installed separately?

Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 Desktop does not support alternative platform toolsets.
if Visual Studio 2010 or Windows SDK 7.1 is already installed, you can launch the developer command prompt from those toolsets then launch the old compiler via msbuild.
