Visual studio 2017 is able to keep old project types and build them as is... so it is using the 2013 tools even though loaded in the 2017 IDE. I noticed this because the command line build tools are 2015, so if I configure a project for node; it gets built as 2015, and the visual studio project when loaded in 2017 shows (Visual Studio 2015) after the project in solution explorer...
And/or you should be able to set the platform toolset (in the project property dialog, General) Platform toolset : Visual Studio 2015 (v140) I've seen it with other IDE projects; I don't have that system available though (back to v110_xp) On Tue, Aug 14, 2018 at 3:20 PM Brian Davis <bitmi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Why does CMake 3.9.0 open VS2017 when targeting 2013 after installing > 2017... sigh. > > Without even regenerating or re configuring (even though that has no > effect either) when "Open Project" is selected 2017 is opened and not > 2013... errr what am I targeting again?
