Resolution: Fixed

https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/pull/262 implements this as MSBUILDDIR
> Enforce usage of specific version of MSBuildTools
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-13878
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13878
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-windows
> Reporter: Jan Piotrowski (Sujan)
> Assignee: Jan Piotrowski (Sujan)
> Priority: Major
>
> With Visual Studio 2017 (15.5) you can't build Win8.1 projects any more, see
> CB-13874.
> There are also problems with standalone MSBuild versions you can install.
> The MSBuildTools selection mechanism that is currently used is not prepared
> to handle that in any way - it chooses one MSBuildTool version, then checks
> if it can build the projects and proceeds or fails.
> There is the workaround that VSINSTALLDIR can be used to force a specific VS
> 2017+ installation where it then tries to find a MSBuildTool installation in
> a specific folder, but this is also very unreliable.
> This issue proposes a new ENV var that can be used to point to the exact
> MSBuildTool instance that should be used. This way it will be possible to use
> the VS2015 build tools while VS2017 is installed etc.
