Hello,
trying ‘build solution’, ‘build hololens’, ‘run in hololens simulator’ in VS2017 for simple project (camera, light, sphere). error:

I am assuming you either just installed VS2017 or updated it to 15.3

There is a problem with Unity and VS2017-15.3

Currently, the only version that I believe to be patched for this issue is the 2017.2 beta. You will likely have to update to the version of Unity or find a way to go back to 15.2 to get the fix. Another option would be to use VS2015 update 3.

You can see more info here.
