Hello,

I'm currently testing VS 2017 with our current Solutions which compiles with VS 2015 very well.

I installed parts of VS 2017 professional (WIN 8.1 SDk, no WIN 10 SDK, no VS 2015 Support).

When I open a 2015 solution I was asked to update the Projects to 8.1 SDK and Toolset v141 which I accepted.


But when I Try to build a C++ Project I get
Warning MSB8003 :

Could not find VCToolsInstallDir variable from the registry

TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number.

I searched in the registry and indded VCToolsInstallDir can not be found.

Which part of VS 2017 is missing ?

TIA
