When building for Windows with IL2CPP a project may fail to build with a bad error message if Windows 10 SDK is not installed.

Building Library\Bee\artifacts\Stevedore\win10sdk_432e\.StevedoreVersion failed with output:

The expectation is that the user should instead get an error message describing why il2cpp can't build and where to download and install a Windows 10 SDK.
