@fedyfausto You may need to install Window 10 SDK 10.0.15063.468 from following link. https://developer.microsoft.com/ja-jp/windows/downloads/sdk-archive

@fedyfausto I encountered that error after installing the correct SDKs but didn't have visual studio 2015. I believe it's possible to avoid installing 2015 by changing paths and/or copying the 2017 windows.winmd to the expected place but I solved it by doing a minimal install of visual studio 2015.

If you're not making your own changes, I have done electron builds and released them on my fork.
