Hi,

our Applications have to support Windows 10, Windows 7 with SP1 and Windows Server 2012-2016.

At the Moment, all our applications are target to Windows SDK 8.1 and Platform Toolset v120.

We're installing .NET 4.7.1 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable 12.0.21005 at our customer computers.

We develop in Visual Stduio 2013.


Now, we like to upgrade to Visual Studio 2017. When opening a solution, Visual Studio likes to upgrade the projects to Platfom Toolset v141 and wants to retarget the projects to 10.0.17134.0.

Now I have some questions

1) Waht is the "Platform Toolset" exactly?

2) Can the application with the new toolset and SDK run on the OS described obove (esspecialy Windows 7)?

2) Do I have to install a new Redistributable Package at our Customer Computer to be compatible with the new SDK version?


Thanks for your help!
