I have a same issues.

Juste before this error I have

LNK1181 cannot open input file '......\Windows-AMD64\Release\OpenMesh.lib' MeshSDFilter

In cmake I don't see Windows-AMD64 configuration. It's hard coded ? It's possible "windows failed with internal error" start with this error ?

I don't found how to fix this configuration but I found "Windows-AMD64" in MeshDenoiser.vcxproj

I was able to resolve this error by downgrading Visual Studio 2017 to version 15.8.9. I got the idea from this discussion on StackOverflow -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53760693/visual-c-compiler-internal-error-for-including-pretty-print-h

I ran into the same issue. I also confirmed that the same problem still exists with Visual Studio 2019. How about applying this workaround?: https://github.com/jgehring/cxx-prettyprint/commit/4186b8fff23b3f897021999cb67f086a2e14236a

@pocketpixels thank ! The workaround you proposed is working for me on VS 2019 15.9.14

@pocketpixels - patch from jgehring works in VS 2019 v16.2.3

I confirmed it's a Visual Studio bug, this issue was reported here. And I got a same workaround in #8829.
