How to Create Visual Studio 2013 Extension?

How do I enable Visual Studio 2010 toolset as valid option in Visual Studio 2013?

  • I try to get this set of https://github.com/openglsuperbible/sb6code compiled using Visual Studio 2013 but it seems the project requires the 2010 toolset to build correctly. I see the option the change the toolset in project options, but it says it's not installed.

  • Answer:

    Here's the relevant page on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ff770576.aspx There are two different things here: Platform Toolset - this is what's needed to compile/build your application. C++ Redistributable - this is what's needed to run the application wherever you deploy it (user's computer). To use the platform toolset menu, you have to have those toolsets installed and the only way is to install that version of Visual Studio or the Windows Platform SDK. You can try installing the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2680 first and see if that works.
