Update ToolsVersion = "12.0" in Visual Studio 2012
I am trying to compile a project written in C ++. The compiler gave me this error.
1>Project file contains ToolsVersion="12.0". This toolset is unknown or missing. You may be able to resolve this by installing the appropriate .NET Framework for this toolset. Treating the project as if it had ToolsVersion="4.0".
Can someone tell me how to solve this error. I tried to update it, but could not do it?
It seems that you are trying to compile a Visual Studio 2013 project (since it uses ToolsVersion = 12.0) in Visual Studio 2012 (uses ToolsVersion = 11.0).
So here is the solution to your problem. #TestedSuccessfully
In the project folder, open the .Vcxproj file and change ToolsVersion = 12.0 from 11.0
You should change 12.0 from 11.0 to 3 places, I hope. You can check all entries and you are done.
