Hi
I have a C++ solution/project that is developed with Visual Studio 2017 by many developers. We don't want to upgrade it to VS2019 yet.
I tried building this solution using Visual Studio 2019 16.0.0 Preview 5.0 and the build failed with:
error MSB8020: The build tools for Visual Studio 2017 (Platform Toolset = 'v141') cannot be found. To build using the v141 build tools, please install Visual Studio 2017 build tools.
It appears that 'Visual Studio 2017 build tools' is no longer available, so I downloaded and installed 'Visual Studio 2019 build tools' and enabled component:
MSVC v141 - VS 2017 C++ x64/x86 build tools ...
However, VS 2019 still gives the same error:
error MSB8020: The build tools for Visual Studio 2017 (Platform Toolset = 'v141') cannot be found.
Why isn't VS2019 finding the VS2017 build tools?
