Windows is not officially supported, as I don't have resources to make sure everything works on Windows.

That said, I think I've had reports of MOODS compiling on Windows, but that was probably with cygwin. I have no experience with Visual Studio, and without more details I can only speculate, but looks like MSVC doesn't like something in the code. I believe Visual Studio supports clang as compiler, so you may want to try with that instead, but I'm again speculating.
