The 2nd part of your issue is currently known and tracked with #3142

The first one is interesting. @jemspatel looks like you have Visual Studio 2015... what service pack (update 3?) I did run into issues compiling electron w/ pre-update 2 VS2015 (although, it doesn't look like that's your issue).

@jemspatel this issue should be fixed now, with d3c04c1

Can you get latest from master and try again? Please let us know if it works. Thanks! 😄
