在 VS 2019 中构建 VS 2015 项目

Question

I'd like to compile the VS C++ 2015 project in my VS C++ 2019 ( Win 10 ). I've installed v140 platform toolset but when i set Platform Toolset to Visual Studio 2015 (v140) in Configuration Properties->General an try to build the solution i get:

1>cl : Command line warning D9035: option 'Gm' has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release
1>WindowsProject2.cpp
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0\um\windows.h(167): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'excpt.h': No such file or directory

In the Target Platform Version i have 10.0.18362.0 (the only one to select from).

What can i do more to build the solution?

According to the Doc: Microsoft C++ porting and upgrading guide

For projects created in Visual Studio 2010 through 2017, just open the project in Visual Studio 2019.

As far as I'm concerned, you could open Visual Studio 2019 c++ code in Visual Studio 2017 directly.

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'excpt.h'

The compiler generates a C1083 error when it cannot find a file. I suggest you could try to find the file first.

I see the Header file here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30037\include

And then you could add the path to the search for includes files in the project properties.
