Error on build

Tue Oct 3 11:35:36 UTC 2017

Hi Chris,

I am on Windows 7 and WinSDK 7.0A and DirectX June 10, 2010; not sure 
if any of that makes a difference here or not. 

I cloned a couple weeks ago and in my win.gradle on line 68 it has a 
hard coded absolute path thus:
defineProperty("WINDOWS_VS_VSINSTALLDIR", properties, "c:/Program Files
(x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0");
which contradicts (?) the directive on the website to use Visual Studio
10.0 (the website says Express Edition will do, so that is what I am
using also). It is also different than what you say you have, which is
VS2017 if I understood you correctly. I am not sure what to make of
that. 
I changed that hard coded path above from "12.0" to read "10.0" then
double checked to make sure that was a legit path on my machine,  but
it didn't get me past my error. 
Here is a question maybe you know the answer to . 
I am assuming that merely editing win.gradle then immediately invoking
gradle in cygwin will cause the new edits I made to win.gradle to be
processed appropriately by gradle. 
Is that correct? 
This is opposed to editing win.gradle, but then somehow compiling that
gradle source,  as I would have to do with a java source file, in order
to see the changes at runtime.
(Now you know how little I know about  gradle.)
Cheers
Charles
