Your Visual Studio might be too old.
Try to update your VS to 15.3 and try to build again.

Hi ptrblck,

I am using Visual Studio 15.9.4 version

Oh, from the path it looks like 14.16:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023

14.16 is MSBuild version

It should be fixed in master. You could try the nightly build.
