I build all of synApps, including the sequencer on Windows, and don't have those problems.  What modules specifically did you have trouble with?

I have not had a chance to document all of the problems I encountered
trying to build synApps_5_8 with Visual Studio Community 2015.  Many of
the problems seem to be caused by Makefiles that unconditionally build
code that doesn't work on Windows, and therefore are a problem for all
versions of Visual Studio.

The sequencer is one module that is difficult to build on Windows, but
those problems have already been discussed here.
