Issue description

I have downloaded Accord.NET 3.8.0 archive from the main website, and are attempting to compile it on Windows using Visual Studio 2017 using the Accord.NET.sln solution.

I have installed the T4 toolbox, Sandcastle Help File Builder, NUnit 3 Test Adapter and VC++ 2015 redistributable as per build instructions.

However I receive the following errors attempting to build Accord.Math.Core and Accord.Math

This error only occurs in these two modules.
