[That is a known issue with VS2019](https://discourse.itk.org/t/has-anyone-tried-to-build-visual-studio-c-2019/1561/21), which has been resolved in 5.1b01 and 5.1rc01. [v5.1rc01](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/releases/tag/v5.1rc01) was tagged only yesterday, it will be some days before all the packages are created. If you need the pre-build packages, use 5.1 beta1. But since you are compiling yourself, I suggest you to use the yesterday’s 5.1 release candidate 1.
