I got this far, then got the error:

error MSB8020: The builds tools for WindowsKernelModeDriver8.0 (Platform
Toolset = 'WindowsKernelModelDriver8.0') cannot be found. To build using
the WindowsKernelModeDriver8.0 build tools, either click the Project
menu or right-click the solution, and then select "Update VC++
Projects...". Install WindowsKernelModeDriver8.0 to build using the
WindowsKernelModeDriver8.0 build tools.

I appears that the problem is that you cannot use Visual C++ Express:
