Gradle test fail; DLLS are missing (Windows 10)

[David Bimamisa]

Hi all,

I solve this problem after stumbling over the following comments in the
*buildSrc/genVSproperties.bat* file:
*"The current officially supported Visual Studio version is 15.0 *
*Handling of 11.0 and 14.0 is excluded here"*

Thus, installing Visual Studio 2017 (VS 15.0) on the Windows 10 machine --
instead of VS 2010 Express as recommended in the wiki
<https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX#BuildingOpenJFX-BuildingOpenJFX-IntegrationwithOpenJD>
--
works for me.
Maybe the comments above should be added to the wiki.

Regards
David
