Facing a build error on windows machine

Development
1

I am trying to setup project on windows machine by following the steps as mentioned in the Build.md file. I used the commands like this:
npm install -g windows-build-tools --vs2015
npm install in root directory
npm start inside app-desktop folder
none seems to be executed without any errors.
