It's worked well for me in a similar environment. I use DLL builds,
though, so `ntdll.mak` instead of `nt.mak`.

One thing that looks suspicious is this:

Have you put nasm.exe inside the Visual Studio install dir? That seems
like an odd choice, not sure if the spaces in the path maybe confuses
something?

You also don't mention which directory you're in when running these
commands. I've run everything inside the openssl-1.0.2h (using a
different version) source directory.
