I have followed the instructions to enable Visual Studio 2017 15.9 to target Visual Studio 2008. That is, I first installed Visual Studio 2008, then Visual Studio 2010 (to get msbuild), then installed Visual Studio 2017 (latest version).

I now see that I can target the Visual Studio 2008 tool chain, yet when I go to run msbuild on my .sln file, the resulting tool chain is still the Visual Studio 2017 tool chain, and moreover the object code still depends on the Visual Studio 2017 run times.

What am I missing here? Is this a regression in Visual Studio 2017 15.9?

Thanks,

Tom
