Are you sure? What was the exact failure message you got?

Nope. In fact the build is known to fail if you are trying to build as Administrator. At least previously it was. I never build as Administrator. You should not need to do either. (The build machinery has a check, or at least used to have, against building as Administrator on Windows, but perhaps that is now then for some reason inefective.)

Using the Administrator account for random tasks not related to maintaining the OS is not a good idea, and we definitely would not require or recommend that.

Yeah, you are using the Express compiler, right? That is a known issue, and documented as far as I know.

Those should be fixed now.

Anyway, you seem to be managing fine, working around problems and asking the right kind of questions that make sense, welcome, hopefully you will soon have it built and you can start hacking!
