build failed on Windows

I am trying to build with settings from the sample with node v0.10.36, "grunt-build-atom-shell": "1.1.5" on Windows 7 vs 2012 using grunt cli tool.

However I get very nondescript error:

Aborted due to warnings.

I have also tried on Win8.1 vs2013 with similar results. Is there any way to make it more verbose?

What happens when you run:

cd C:\tmp\atom-shell ; python script/build.py -c Release -t test

Installing VS Community Edition fixed the issue. Sorry for the trouble.
