If a developer tries to override the default Visual Studio root dir (e.g., to speficy Community rather than Professional), the build will fail.

To reproduce this, set the VS150COMNTOOLS env variable to the same value that it will use if not set (note that the double backslash is needed when running from cygwin shell).

$ export VS150COMNTOOLS="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Professional\\VC\\Auxiliary\\Build"
$ gradle
...
:buildSrc:build
\Microsoft was unexpected at this time.
