I tried to do the same. ffmpeg 4.1 from Zeranoe failed (current build also failed), but ver. 3.4.2 works.

Not entirely surprising that products would be deprecating that feature. It's not like a lot of VC-1 content has been published in the last five years.
VC-1 was a quite good codec when software decoding on single-core 32-bit x86 processors without advance SSE stuff was an important feature requirement. It was quite competitive with H.264 Baseline Profile. But H.264 High Profile was almost a superset of VC-1. And once the H.264 patent pool got down to a reasonable price/structure to allow building with Windows, there wasn't a lot of point in further enhancing VC-1 for Microsoft.
