I see that the commit 0fb54de9aa4ffb792ea63af853146021ae501f12adds support to build with Visual Studio 2015. But, I tried building 9.6.2 and it returns me the same error on Windows2012 R2. Is it only me that is seeing the error?

That particular chunk of code is quite MSVC version dependent; read the comments for it. It's annoying but not especially surprising that they broke it in an upgrade. Somebody will have to research how one is supposed to get the appropriate locale name now.
