Actually, while doing the same thing, but with the 1.52 release, it worked!
Unfortunately, I cannot swear I didn't change anything in MSVS setup, but I
don't think I did... maybe inadvertedly somehow...

Removing these lines made no difference

Yes, I tried MSVS 2017 and MSVS 2015, should I try even earlier versions?

This gives the exact same error (although, this time the executable that
produces it isn't the rc.exe, but link.exe)
More information that might help / shed some light:
I was trying to convert worspace files into solutions, but it failed completely
for all projects. Unfortunately, MSVS doesn't produce any intelligible
reports, just "failed".
I also tried to run nmake on apr-util Makefile, but it complains about syntax
error in line 91, which reads:
!IF "$(XML_PARSER)" == "libexpat"
Is this symptomatic of anything?
But, in all honesty, I would really, really, want to avoid touching MSVS at
all. Personal preferences aside, I want this project to run in automated
testing environment, and the very thought of having to deal with MSVS invokes a
lot of painful memories...
Best.
