I tried to build Blender using Microsoft compiler in this wiki Blender website.
Attempt 1
In the “Set up your Repository” step, I had used Microsoft VS-2013 option to build 32-bit libraries.
When I compile Blender with CMake at Automatic CMake Setup, I got an error message after I run “make” in the step shown in image below.
I got an error message saying:
CMake Error: Could not create named generator Visual Studio 12 2013
Attempt 2
In the “Set up your Repository” step, I had used Microsoft VS-2014 option to build 32-bit libraries.
Again, I got the same error message after I run “make” in the step shown in the image above.
Please refer to the below attached error code shown after I run “make” command.

MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist.
Switch: C:\Working_Place_Joe\Blender-git\blender\..\build_windows\Blender.sln

Could you suggest where my mistakes are and how can I build Blender source codes in Windows?
Thank you
