Because multiple versions of SDK can be installed side by side, it would be better if the error message can print out which SDK version it checks, so that users only need to reinstall that specific version of SDK.
Old msg: Cannot find the WinRT headers in the Windows SDK directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10). Please install them. New msg: Cannot find the WinRT headers in the Windows SDK include directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.15042.0\). Please install them.
