I had my MSVC installation in c:, so fsutil did not work until I rebooted it in safe-mode. I first enabled the 8.3 format as fsutil 8dot3name set c: 0 followed by setting shortnames for directory names that LO require because on my Win10 installation there were no shortnames already set. In my case I did (after cd-ing into respective dirs) : fsutil file setshortname "Program Files (x86)" PROG~1 fsutil file setshortname "Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0" msvc~140 fsutil file setshortname "Window Kits" W~Kits and then rebooted into normal mode.
