When I migrated to VS 2017 i got error MSB8020: The build tools for v141 (Platform Toolset = 'v141') cannot be found. To build using the v141 build tools, please install v141 build tools.
It seems you didn't install whole toolset bunch with Visual Studio 2017

v141 toolset should be installed on
Visual Studio 2017image. From similar issue: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/1389#issuecomment-285923275This change made this build work again: https://github.com/ctnorth/ctnorth/commit/8e2dfe391f4c95f38e732509e...
There might be something missing on
Visual Studio 2017image, of course. You may want to login into build VM via RDP and check: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker/#2 Posted by egoroff on 13 Mar, 2017 05:50 PM
