It seems that you are trying to compile a Visual Studio 2013 Project (as it uses ToolsVersion=12.0) on Visual Studio 2012 (uses ToolsVersion=11.0).

So here is the solution to Your problem. #TestedSuccessfully

  1. In your Project Folder open the .Vcxproj file and change ToolsVersion=12.0 with 11.0

  2. You have to change 12.0 with 11.0 at 3 places hopefully. You can check for all occurences and You are done.

It worked for me. I hope will also work for You :)

    I am trying to compile a project written in C++. The compiler gave me this error.

    1>Project file contains ToolsVersion="12.0". This toolset is unknown or missing. You may be able to resolve this by installing the appropriate .NET Framework for this toolset. Treating the project as if it had ToolsVersion="4.0".
    

    Can someone tell me How to resolve this error. I tried to update it but was unable to do so?
