Visual Studio 2012宏使用VS2010值

Question

My working computer had Visual Studio 2010 installed previously. It was working fine.

To gain full support for C++11, the 2012 was installed to this computer recently (VS2010 was not removed, since some old project need it).

My problem is: If I launch VS2012, the Visual Studio user values (eG $(VSInstallDir), $(VCInstallDir), $(ExecutablePath) etc.) are the VS2010's values, not the values suitable for VS2012.

What is the reason for it? And how can I solve this problem? The VS2012 must use its' own user values.

Answer 1

Since multiple installations are there, you can select the Platform Toolset from

Project Property Pages\\ Configuration Properties\\General\\Platform Toolset

If it still doesn't work, do the following as last resort:

Edit the following file to change the macros:

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSBuild\\Microsoft.Cpp\\v4.0\\V120\\Microsoft.Cpp.Common.props

For me it is V120. Whatever version it is for you, change it accordingly.
