You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project
Solution 1:
I checked system variables one more time and found the cause of the problem:
missing C:\Windows\System32\
variable.
I added it and that solved my problem
Hope, it help you too.
Solution 2:
just add it to the PATH: C:\Windows\System32 and start cmd as Administrator
Solution 3:
Goto > Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advance system setting\Enviroment variable and set system variables path C:\Windows\System32\
variable and restart your System.
Solution 4:
I know this is old but I simply had to run Visual Studio 2015 as an administrator and it worked on Windows 7.
