It seems you are trying to build an older version. I have merged my 
changes about a week ago. There is also a build on Appveyor that is not 
complaining:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rainers/visuald/

It could be that your Windows SDK is newer than Appveyors version 
10.0.14393.0. The automatic conversion might need a little adaptio in 
that case.
