I'm using VS 2017 as Blog said and not upgrade, I have just built it without any changes. Please show me why the Built has been failed and how to fix its resource link?

This is report when built failed:

Looks like the file GSUtils\GSSystem.h has an invalid character, specifically the copyright symbol (©) in the copyright notice. Earlier versions of VS don't seem to complain about that.

You could temporarily work around this by turning off the "Treat Warnings as Error" option in the C++ > General panel of the project settings. Possibly reducing the warning level for the project might do the trick too.

Or you could edit the file to fix the copyright character, but I wouldn't recommend manually editing API headers.

And one more question is when I build successfully but cannot load it with just Warning mark in Add-On Manager. Please help me to fix it.
