Unsolved MSVC compiler fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stddef.h': No such file or directory

[GoodGuy]

Hi,

I have a problem with MSVC 2015 compiler. I want to build additional module from source for Qt. After set compiler via :
c:\Qt\5.13.0\msvc2017_64\bin\qtenv2.bat
and
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\WDExpress\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64

nmake throws error C1083 about finding cstddef file.

c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\WDExpress\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\include\cstddef(7): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stddef.h': No such file or directory

I've checked the full path and it's there.

I have MS Visual Studio Express 2017 and Windows 10 SDK. I also tried to make clean instalation of Qt and Visual Studio, with deleted configuration files in AppData.

Any idea?
