In Visual Studio 2017, I went to Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> General, Selected All Platforms (1), then chose the dropdown (2) under Windows SDK Version and updated from 10.0.14393.0 to one that was installed (3). For me, that was 10.0.15063.0.
Additional details: This corrected the error in my case because Windows SDK Version helps VS select the correct paths. VC++ Directories -> Library Directories -> Edit -> Macros -> shows that macro $(WindowsSDK_LibraryPath_x86) has a path with the version number selected above.
