We've made some progress here, it's now looking for the Visual Studio 
SDK folder, not the Windows SDK.

The VS2015 installer added the VSSDK140Install variable to the 
environment for me, but it seems to be missing for you.

Please try adding this line to
https://github.com/dlang/visuald/blob/master/build/sdk.bat#L29:

if "%VSISDKINC%" == "" if exist "%VSINSTALLDIR%\VSSDK" set 
VSISDKINC=%VSINSTALLDIR%\VSSDK

(no line break, might be inserted by mail program).
