I don't know anything about windows 10 so I can't help you really.

But looking at the error there's a suggestion you need to install or update build tools.

The build tools for v140 (Platform Toolset = 'v140') cannot be found. To build using the v140 build to
ols, please install v140 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Upgrade Solution.

Hey,

The latest version of snappy (6.1.0) shouldn't have this problem anymore since it downloads a compiled version of the library. Please reopen if you still have an issue!
