I followed the following steps:

1. Create a folder(check building.gyp file for path)

   %ProgramFiles(x86)%/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/lib/store/references

2. Copy file platform.winmd from

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\lib\x86\store\references

3. Copy file Windows.winmd from

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata\10.0.17763.0

did the trick to fix the "platform.winmd", "Windows.winmd" error for me!
