c++ - Conversion from a VS2013 project to VS2015 one -

i had run problem when tried have vs2013 project complied vs2015. project compiled vs2008 , still need libraries complied newer vs version.

i installed in order of vs2008 -> vs2015, , got error message

"the build tools visual studio 2008 (platform toolset = 'v90') cannot found."

according message , this thread, additionally installed vc_stdx86.msi , vc_stdamd64.msi .iso file. then, error message changed into

"required file "" missing."

where

<cl condition="'%(clcompile.precompiledheader)' == 'create' , '%(clcompile.excludedfrombuild)'!='true'"

i have made search "clcompile.precompiledheader" couldn't solution. suggests missing file , how can rid of error?

thanks help.

visual studio 2015 doesn't ship platform toolset that old, that's why fails compile.

changing platform toolset of vs2015 (v140) fix issue, may other errors possibly, there may have been breaking changes in 7 years (i think).

go project -> [name] properties -> configuration properties -> general , change platform toolset visual studio 2015 (v140).
