The tool isn't Object, but what type of tool creates an object.
Note my email said
env=Environment(tools=[only the tools you're using],...)
not
env=Environment(tools=[],)

Also why are you using: SCons.Environment.Environment  instead of
Environment() ?

In your case it looks like you need all of MSVC (at least) so:
sconsEnv = Environment(MSVC_VERSION = '10.0', TARGET_ARCH = 'x86',
tools=['msvc','mslink','mslib'])

Give that a try.
