I experienced this error as well when setting up my LyX build environment (Windows 10 + MSVC 2010 + Qt 4.8.6). The only insight I can provide is that initially, my cmake config wasn't an exact match to what was described in INSTALL.Win32. That file was written for Qt < 5, so as part of getting everything to match INSTALL.Win32 and compile, I switched to Qt 4.8.6 rather than Qt 5.4 or 5.5. I don't exactly recall if that switch was the silver bullet for this error, but I know I haven't been able to compile LyX yet using Qt 5.x on Windows. Perhaps try compiling LyX with Qt 4.8.6 (keeping all other config the same), and see if that removes this error? In which case there is possibly some issue with compiling with Qt 5.x on Windows...
