onnxruntime: windows build error "returned non-zero exit status 1" with VS 2017

I am trying to build from source code following these steps:

 git clone --recursive https://github.com/Microsoft/onnxruntime
 cd onnxruntime
.\build.bat --config Release --build_shared_lib --parallel

However, I get the error below 15-20 mins into the compilation. Could it be related to cmake version? I used to build it with no issue but recently wanted to build with OpenVino EP. For that, I had to update the cmake (version 3.18.0). After that I started to get this error even for windows build.
