Hi

I have the same errors. Have you found an answer for that?

Yes, the error is caused by the wrong path to cl.exe. The right version for me is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx86\x64. You can try which path to nvcc on your computer works correctly. Hostx86\x64, Hostx86\x86, Hostx64\x86 or Hostx64\x64
