John,

You haven't been very specific about what you changed, so I'm just guessing
that you modified GDAL_HOME (and by implication BINDIR, etc).  These are
*install* directories.  The build creates dlls and .exes in the source tree.
You need to do "nmake /f makefile.vc install" to copy stuff to the install
directories.

Or I may be guessing wrong, in which case you need to be more specific.

Best regards,
