This question already has an answer here:
I've downloaded a c++ project. I opened the .sln
file and I tried to build the project. I got the following error:
error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v120) is not installed or invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected.
I ve already checked that the platform toolset is set to v120
. What is the problem here?
Either change the platform toolset of your project to
v100
(as you have installed VS2010) or install VS2013 in order to usev120
.
