No, we require Visual Studio 2010 to build on Windows. Please see:

Are you using VisualStudio 2010 Express? I believe that only supports
32-bit builds, so that could be your issue, in which case using the
32-bit JDK should resolve your problem. You may have to manually clean
your repo by removing at least the following:
rm -rf build buildSrc/build
Failing that, I recommend to run with "gradle --info --stacktrace" and
see if that gives you more information.
