Description

In your documentation you say: "To get started testing WIL, first make sure that you have a recent version of Visual Studio and the most recent Windows SDK installed."

I use Visual Studio 2017 and Win10 SDK - and library can't be compiled because of some unknown attributes in header files. Looks like VS 2017 and/or Win10 SDK is not enough?

Could you please mention in documentation exact version of VS and SDK which are required to use WIL ?

Research direction

Review the documentation statement about testing WIL and investigate the compatibility of Visual Studio 2017 and the Windows 10 SDK with the library's C++ headers. Confirm the supported Visual Studio and Windows SDK versions, then update the relevant documentation so users can identify the required versions.
