I also met this error. Have you solved it?

Same error, going to try CUDA 8~

[ferakon]

This error I still get with VS 2015 and CUDA 8. CUDA 7.5 won't work because it requires < VS 2013, which is too old to build the modules.

I think this error can be fixed by removing that "ID=2" somehow. A similar error is highlighted over at the py-faster-rcnn repo:
MrGF/py-faster-rcnn-windows#17 (comment)

If anyone else has any success before I do, let me know.

[ferakon]

I fixed this by adding the following line:

# remove ID=2
elif ',ID=2' in c: del cmd[idx]

...to the bottom of the elif statements in:
setup_windows_cuda.py in lib\nms (elif statement should be added within for loop that starts at line 85)
setup_windows.py in lib\mask (elif statement should be added within for loop that starts at line 82)

Hope that helps people who are stuck!
