using win8 for the builds. PHP-5.5+ needs at least vs2012 not only because
the XP support was dropped, but also because many bugfixes/features base

Have no suitable env to try myself, but just read on the internets about
folks reporting this or similar issue. Some mention it's solved with
updating to the latest, so maybe you could give it a try.
