Hi, I was testing my game out and I'm getting these outputs. Here is my outputs doc.

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Platforms\x64\PlatformToolsets\v1​41_xp\Toolset.targets(36,5): warning MSB8003: Could not find WindowsSdkDir_71A variable from the registry.  TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number.

this looks like you haven't installed the Win7 SDK I am not sure if it is deprecated in Win10 and latest version of VS, I also think this is related to Visual Studio opening of the project and not through the editor?

right click project
inside properties | Configuration Properties | General |
Platform Toolset -> change to visual studio version without "xp" in it's name
Windows SDK ->change to SDK version you want to use/require
Target Platform -> set to targetted minimal version of platform you are aiming to support.

I believe Platform Toolset is the only one you need to set correctly, though I am not 100% sure.

Perhaps you haven't selected C++ and Windows XP support when installing VS?
