Attachment: Error messages with VS2015RC

Yesterday, I installed VS2015RC from the Microsoft site and MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe from mozilla project and tried to compile MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe, but in vain.

I used start-shell-msvc2015.bat.  Am I correct?

I used vacant .mozconfig and
./mach clobber (not necessary)
./mach build
and got these error messages.  See attachment.

It looks like VS2015RC itself conflicts.....

Developer tools is the wrong component. I think this is closer, or at least someone who watches this component will have a better idea than me.

There have been various VS2015 related changes in the past few months, and I'm not surprised 39 wouldn't build. Try current mozilla-central first.

Oh, thanks.   An old build may well be compiled with a new compiler :)

Attachment: errors when compiling central with VS2015RC

I tried to compile central with VS2015RC, but in vain as a matter of course.
The first error looks opposite to the previous one.  Anyway I attached error.zip.

I still don't know what these mean.

Mistake.  The first error was the same as the previous one.  But we shouldn't modify the distributed Visual Studio.

I got the same errors using VS 2015 RTM.

VS 2015 RTM & Win 10, another error:
d:\projects\firefox\root\msys\build\dist\include\mozilla\msvc_raise_wrappers.h(12): fatal error C1189: #error:  "Unable to wrap _RAISE(); CRT _RAISE() already defined"
