Error 1 error MSB8020: The build tools for v140 (Platform Toolset = 'v140') cannot be found. To build using the v140 build tools, please install v140 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Upgrade Solution...". C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets 64 5

Of course you'll have that issue, v140 means VS2015! Just update to Visual Studio 2015 and you'll be fine, or alternatively you can change your project target to VS2013's toolset. If you're using GIT or another sharing method, someone just upgraded your projects to VS2015.

VS2015 does have a few new compliance features, like full C++11 and even a good chunk of C++14 and 17
