Hi there,
I was trying to build with "Visual Studio 2015 RC" environment, unfortunately it complained about the absence of VS140 build tools. It turned out "Visual Studio 2015 Preview" have the right vs140 build tools but its compiler is probably not as updated as the RC one. Hope you might be able to fix it ? Many thanks !
Best,
Mike

   Hi Mike,

   What do you mean by build tools? What error are you getting?

   Hi Feodor,

   Thanks for your prompt response, I included a snapshot of console for your
   reference. You may notice that the build engine has version 12.0 only.
   The snapshot is from a "Visual Studio 2015 RC", the build engine of VS2015
   RC should be 14.0 not 12.0

   That's why I did try on the "Visual Studio 2015 Preview" environment and
   its builkd tools version is correct, i.e. 14.0

   Maybe the Visual Studio 2015 RC could take a fix ?

   Thanks,
   Mike

   I see. It's just msbuild 12.0 is in PATH.

   Add this to "Install" section of your build:

   set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin;%PATH%

   should get myself more familiar with your VMs. 1000x thanks !
