[New-bugs-announce] [issue40629] Error MSB4086 (numeric comparison)

[veganaiZe]

New submission from veganaiZe <veganaiZe-bot at yahoo.com>:

I'm getting an "error MSB4086: A numeric comparison was attempted ..." while attempting to build Python 3.8.3 (branch `3.8` from github) on Windows 8.1 (64-bit) with VC++ Build Tools 14.0 (2015 R3), at the command line.

I'm guessing that I might have an incorrect (ie. too old) version of the .NET tools?

I've attach the `PCBuild\clean.bat -vv` output.

I can provide many more details but I didn't want to overwhelm.
