Well - i am sorry to be commenting things out to you ..
i may be very new to Visual Studio environments - but i managed to work around creating the DLL / EXE post following the below set steps..

i did the following steps
delete the following folders "C:\Users\emz\tesseract" , "C:\Users\emz.cppan".
launch cmd from run and execute the following:
git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract.git
cd tesseract
cppan
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -DCPPAN_USE_CACHE=0
OR
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DCPPAN_USE_CACHE=0

For x64 this worked for me:
cd tesseract
cppan
mkdir build_x64
cd build_x64
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DCPPAN_USE_CACHE=0
OR
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCPPAN_USE_CACHE=0

Post that - opened the solutions file created - made changes relevant to our projects and then built the solution - and it worked out for me properly.

May be this can help you find the solution relevant to your problem.
