I have cloned the code from GitHub and have it loaded into VS2015 but I cannot get it to build. typically there are 20k - 30k errors but I think VS is being a bit melodramatic about it.

As far as I can see the problem is mainly to do with the VB compiler. During the build DotNetNuke.WebUtilities gives '"vbc.exe" exited with code -2146232797'. Googling this shows a number of solutions but none have worked.

I am running VS2015 Community Edition with Update 2.

Can anybody suggest how I can get this to work?
