I had a similar problem building 32-bit code on a 64-bit Windows VM here. The setup script that the "x64_x86 Cross 
Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" link calls sets Platform=x86. However, `CMake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017"` creates 
project files that match the "Win32" platform. "Platform" and "Configuration" are environment properties[1], so it was 
easy enough to fix by setting Platform=Win32. You should be able to do the same thing in your environment.
