Tests passed once I used the right Visual Studio Command prompt. I was using the x64 Native toolchain command shell. Once I switched to the generic command shell, all is well. Thanks for the lick in the right direction, it got me to thinking that even though the tools are installed, I should try different Visual Studio shells.
In general, it's better to not use the VS command shell at all. distutils figures out what it needs (setuptools does a better job, for what its worth).
If you are going to use the shell, also set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 to disable the automatic detection. In the wrong shell you'll get a broken build, but it might have unblocked you in this case.
