title: Error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2Exception: AAPT2 error when compiling on Windows 10
body: <p>somehow my android project that I ran and compiled completely normal on Kali Linux,
  can't be compiled on windows 10. I already twice totally removed whole Android studio and gradle build tools and it's cached, invalidating project caches, and so on.
  Not only that one project won't compile, but any.
  I have all SDK tools freshly installed and updated.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my stack trace from java compiler:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
  </code></pre>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.</p>
