IncrediBuild - Error: First character of string should be '0' or '1'

Update: This issue is in a C++ (non-cli) project. Unfortunately, there is no error info other than what was presented to me via the IDE. I was required to upgrade my IDE from VS2017 to VS2019; when importing a project from VS2017 everything was fine until I tried to do a build. I received the following error/build failure from IncrediBuild: 

   Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.6.0.
   Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved.
   1>------ Build started: Project: XXXXX, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
   1>First character of string should be '0' or '1'.
   1>Error: First character of string should be '0' or '1'.
   ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I've never encountered a build error like this and have searched for an answer and not found one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This can also be fixed by forcing IncrediBuild to use MSBuild. You can do this by adding a registry key in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Xoreax\IncrediBuild\Builder called UseMSBuild and setting it to 1.

Likewise. You can upgrade to incredibuild9_45.
