Hi,

I am trying to build a solution using MSBuild but I get an error seemingly indicating some tools are not installed. I looked in the directories and they indeed seem to be nowhere found. The message I get is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets(57,5): error MSB8020: The build t
ools for v141 (Platform Toolset = 'v141') cannot be found. To build using the v141 build tools, please install v141 bui
ld tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-cli
ck the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". [C:\Users\Juan Dent\C++ Development\Source Components\metashel
l\metashell\3rd\templight\build\ZERO_CHECK.vcxproj]


and the MSBuild directory v4.0 only has v110, v120, v140 --- not v141!


Thanks,

Juan
