Hello, we are trying to build the PDK General Sample for the Data Harvester using Visual Studio 2017, and we are running into the following error on build:

Code: Select all

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

According to other solutions on the internet, this has to do with Visual Studio 2017 using the Visual Studio 2019 build tools. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, if so, how can we fix it and/or force Visual Studio 2017 to use the 2017 build tools?

Thank you!

I am also facing this issue. Any solutions Please let me know
My project settings still use VS2017 v141 toolset

It's looking for toolset v142 which is in 2019, not in vs2017 which comes with toolset v141.

Just tested it and it compiled successfully on vs2019 ver.16.11.5 Community Edition.

You can try right clicking on the project, properties, the changing the Platform Toolset to v141 but you might run into Win10 SDK issues. Not sure if you can install Toolset v142 on a vs2017 instance.

In vs2019 I tried compiling it with toolset v141 and it was not happy at all. It was asking for a new Win10 SDK and that I should retarget the solution.

Hello,

Visual Studio 2017/v141 is not supported in the v5 SDK. You will need to use Visual Studio 2019/v142.
