Hi, 

What are your Windows and CMake versions? 

BTW I also faced many issues while building Caffe in Windows 10. This video helped me a lot and I was able to build successfully. Hope it will help you as well.

Thanks alot for your reply. 

I did'nt have any issues with compiling the windows version before. this just happened all of a sudden!  

I'm not sure but this actually happened just after I updated to the new 1703 build. (my 1607 RedStone was fine!). I guess this might have something to do with it! 

by the way I have Cmake 3.7.1 installed.
