I'm trying to build Graphviz in Windows. Whoever last worked on the Windows glue is unavailable/unknown, so hopefully this is a straightforward problem.

Adapting the instructions here, I cloned from Git and used this PowerShell script in the repo root:

git submodule update --init
$envath = "$pwd\windows\dependencies\graphviz-build-utilities;$envath"
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" ".\graphviz.sln"

Upon building, I get a variation of the following error for each project in the solution. Can I get a lead on this problem, please? (Per my system's directory structure, the missing folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools.)

Error MSB4018 The "NativeCodeAnalysis" task failed unexpectedly.
