Error: The <EnableEnhancedInstructionSet> element has an invalid value of "NoExtensions"

Question

I am trying to open a project in C ++ by other users in VS2010 in Windows XP in a virtual machine. The problem is that the project seems to have been developed for VS2012 under Windows7, I think. I have successfully converted the configurations associated with it, thanks to the internet. But now, when I try to build this project, I got the following error:

C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(147,5): error : Element <EnableEnhancedInstructionSet> has an invalid value of "NoExtensions".

It seems that configuration changes caused this problem. I did to change Project ->Properties->Configuration Properties->General->Platform Toolsetfrom "v120" to "v100" and then changed DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="12.0to DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0".

How can I overcome this mistake? Thank you

Well, I decided as follows: Project ->Properties ->C/C++ ->Code Generation->Enable Enhanced Instruction Set -> Not Set.
