UWP il2cpp build errors on empty project

I'm trying to build an empty Unity project as a Windows Store app with following settings:
- SDK: Universal 10
- UWP SDK: 10.0.15063.0
- Scripting backend: IL2CPP
- API Compatibility Level: .NET 2.0

The Visual Studio project builds just fine, but when I open and build this one in Visual Studio 2017, I'm getting lots of errors. Mind you, this was an empty Unity project. This is the build log:

Anyone who has any idea where to find the solution? After a day of searching I'm not one step further...

 

Happens to me as well, fresh Win10 CU(with all updates), latest Unity 5.6.1f1(all x64), latest VS 2017 Community

Has there been any update on this? I'm experiencing the same issue. Thanks
