         C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Preview\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2817,7): error MSB4057: The target "CreateManifestResourceNames" does not exist in the project. [C:\projects\radare2-shvdd\build\REGEN.vcxproj]

Research direction

Start with the attached log and the generated build/REGEN.vcxproj from the AppVeyor VS2019 Preview build. Reproduce the Meson project generation and build, then compare the generated project behavior around the missing CreateManifestResourceNames target. Done means the generated solution builds without MSB4057 on the reported environment.
