Interesting that it works for you. Are you definitely using VS2012, not the VS2013 release candidate?
I believe the issue I'm experiencing is related to: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14369 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh162058%28v=vs.120%29.aspx Ie. In VS2013 the tools version changes from 4.0 as msbuild is moved out of the framework. However, I believe that this has mistakenly been put in the VS2012 generator, when it should go in a new VS2013 generator. ~ Doug.
