Hello,

I'm currently using VS2019 with "MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ build tools V14.26". Due to a dependency on the external component, I cannot migrate to a newer version of build tools. Is it possible to set up VS2022 to use build tools v14.26? If so, could you please share with me instructions on how to achieve that?

Regards,
Karol

    Hi @Karol Kucharczyk ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    You can use VS2022 to work in project that was created in VS2019, you need to change the platform toolset version by right-clicking on Project > Properties > Configuration Properties > General > Platform Toolset.

    If you can’t find your required toolset, you may need to install VS2019 to get the toolset.
    For MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.26), it is available in VS2019. You can find it in VS installer > Modify > Individual components.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
