Getting error MSB4018 when trying to build wireshark sources

Hi, I followed Quick setup guide found here: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html and installed and configured everything as described. But when I tried to compile the latest wireshark sources I received many errors like that: "C:\wiresharkDev\wsbuild32\Wireshark.sln" (default target) (1) -> "C:\wiresharkDev\wsbuild32\ui\ui.vcxproj.metaproj" (default target) (57) -> "C:\wiresharkDev\wsbuild32\ui\ui.vcxproj" (default target) (93) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(171,5): error MSB4018: The "CustomBuild" task failed unexpectedly.\r [C:\wiresharkDev\wsbuild32\ui\ui.vcxproj] Could anybody help me to solve it? Many thanks, Bella
