I am trying to build some projects with some msbuild and I get an msb4019 error saying stuff like "The imported project "C:\Prog ram Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found".
All solutions I have seen mention changing some registry entries and environmental variables having to do with C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\, however, this folder simply does not exist for me. I have visual studio professional 2017.

Since there are several different solutions this might be helpful. Seems strange the error is for an entirely different version of Visual Studio then you have installed.

The Stack Overflow question is duplicate of this question, but Stack Overflow questions cannot be used as a duplicate candidate, so I picked a possible duplicate that indicates you need to set
