MSBuild V110 instead of V120

Question

I am having some issues with installing browser-sync with npm.

The error is MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.

I can confirm the path doesn't exist, however there is a V110 folder instead of V120. I presume this relates to the version of visual studio?

How do I get V120 installed / V110 removed?

Answer 1

V110/V120 identify a platform tool set, which is a part of Visual Studio. V110 comes with Visual Studio 2012 and V120 comes with Visual Studio 2013. Either upgrade your VS or switch to V110 in project properties - but whether or not it will work depends on the project (it's not necessary compatible with older build environment).
