Windows SDK registry variable not found

Question

I cannot build my project in Visual Studio 2012. The error is:

1>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSBuild\\Microsoft.Cpp\\v4.0\\V110\\Microsoft.CppBuild.targe

Answer 1

I was trying to get a script to compile for Script Hook V - GTA .NET Library.

I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't work. Here is how I got it to build:

I right clicked on the project and selected properties:

Under Configuration Properties -> General -> Platform Toolset

I selected the dropdown and selected the only other one available

(For me it was Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp))

After that I was able to fly my car normally:

Hope this helps someone else trying to do the same thing.
