Windows can't generate configs for ambuild.

[HowToDoThis]

Not sure did I missed some steps. I was trying to build SourceMod with the Tutorial from Here. But Windows can't generate configs for ambuild.

On Windows, ambuild or configure.py not working and thrown to this error.

On Windows WSL Ubuntu(Same machine, Same Code Path), it works and build successfully.

So, I think there is some bugs on building with MSVC?

Just fixed this, thanks - I need to add a test for rc compilation so this doesn't happen again.
