[issue43298] Windows build cannot detect missing Windows SDK

Thank you Steve.  I did not have the latest installed which is Win10SDK_10.0.18362, therefore it did trigger that original error in msg387518.

After installing, Win10SDK_10.0.18362, it did in-fact allow a successful compilation.

Updating that error code would be most helpful to Windows developers.  I would have never caught it but I wanted to help test 3.10 so I thought I should try it on the Windows 10 box to make sure the community had all platforms covered.

RESULTS:
Build succeeded.
    0 Warning(s)
