[Makefile:114: auto] Error 1

Dear Support Team, I am following the installation/compilation instructions as provided in the documents section.
At --2.2.2. Steps to build a LIGGGHTS(R)-PUBLIC executable-- when I do "make auto", I am getting the following error:

$ make auto
Creating list of contact models completed.
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [Makefile:114: auto] Error 1

After this error, I did the following attempts but in vain:
$ notepad MAKE/Makefile.user_default
1- Uncommented the AUTOINSTALL_VTK = "ON"
2- Also changed USE_MPI to OFF but it didn't work. So I changed it back to ON now.

I also tried running $make mpi, but got the exact same error as above.

I am trying to install it on Windows 10 64-bit. Have installed Visual Studio as well. Downloaded MPI v10.1.2 from Microsoft website.

Please support. Thank you
