The build.rs script creates the component.winmd - if that fails for you it's likely because you don't have midlrt.exe or one of its dependencies in your path. I suggest you build that from the Visual Studio command prompt. You will need the Visual Studio development environment for C++ installed along with the Windows SDK tools until I have complete metadata authoring support completed. #1093 should allow you to build such components without those dependencies.

thanks for the great answer. build from Visual Studio command prompt just resolved my issue.
