I also met the problem,do you have any idea to solve it?

I copy "msvcp120.dll" and "msvcr120.dll" from my installation path to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\x64\Microsoft.VC120.CRT", then copy "msvcp120d.dll" and "msvcr120d.dll" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x64\Microsoft.VC120.DebugCRT". I solve the problem.

This is caused by the HDF5 and LMDB Nuget dependencies. They expect that Visual Studio 2013 is installed at default location ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0"), as they target Visual Studio with "$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0". I think that a clean way to fix this would be to create a symbolic link at this location to your custom visual studio installation path. Other than that you can contact the owners of these Nuget dependencies to fix this, as the problem is in their packages.

Very THX for @Wuranker 's suggestion.

Closing since several workarounds which seem to fix the issue are proposed. Additionally, 2808199 should have fixed the root cause.
