When I go to edit a properties page in Visual Studio 2015 with C++, I'm always getting the error, "There are no property pages for the selection." This usually happens when I'm switching from one Platform to another (e.g. x64 -> Win32).
Usually it will work if I switch the platform from the main window, but if I try to switch it in the Property Pages, I always get that error.
Thanks for the help.
I think this is a bug that has been in Visual Studio since forever. Through experimentation I have discovered that you only hit this bug if you open the project properties by going to the Project menu and selecting <ProjectName> Properties.... Instead, if you open the Solution Explorer toolbar, and then right-click on the project and select Properties from the context menu, you will not hit this issue.
This problem seems to be linked between MSBuild tools and environment paths. On visual studio 2017 v15, after I had downloaded MSBuild tools it updated the VCTarget path to
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
where it should actually point to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
In my case changing the environment path wasn't working and eventually I had to manually update the VCTargets path from regedit: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions
also make sure the priority of path you define in environment variable is correct.
