I wanted to start contributing to Umbraco, so I decided to get the source code and try building it, in order to at some point create my first pull request.
I have tried following the quick start guide, so I have forked the official repostiory, and I have the dev-7 branch checked out.
I'm running Win 10 Enterprise inside a VM, and have VS2017 installed When I run the Build.bat file the build process fails very quickly with the following error, and I have no clue how to proceed. Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated:

Errors were detected!
Can't comment on the specific error with the batch file, but in my experience you can build the solution using Visual Studio and the front-end by running the grunt tasks specified in the readme of the Umbraco.Web.UI.Client folder.
So don't believe it's actually necessary to use the batch file.
