While the error is similar as #438, I don't have any spaces or special characters in my user directory.

I'm not sure why that isn't working for you. I'd direct your attention to #489, which has the entire collection of issues people have run into trying to build the project. You might be able to find more help there.

@LennartF22 commented on GitHub (May 9, 2019):

I came across exactly the same problem and figured out that it is caused by the fact that xcopy expects d instead of f for files when the language is set to German.

xcopy OpenConsole.sln OpenConsole2.sln
Ist das Ziel OpenConsole2.sln ein Dateiname
oder ein Verzeichnisname
(D = Datei, V = Verzeichnis)?

This caused the issue for me! I just replace "echo f | xcopy" with "echo d | xcopy" everywhere and the project builds fine now. Seems like the language setting should be considered when building the project.

I can confirm this was the issue for me, changing every instance of 'echo f' with 'echo d' worked for me.
