Unable to build Version 23.1 - Platform Toolset cannot be found

Post by ultimosoftware » Fri Apr 28, 2023 6:34 pm

Hi.
I am working through building latest version of Open Dental, Version 23.1.
I have built previous versions up to Version 21.x OK.

The build error I am stuck on is:
Error MSB8020 The build tools for v143 (Platform Toolset = 'v143') cannot be found. To build using the v143 build tools, please install v143 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 "Retarget solution". .\opendental23.1\Direct2dWrapper\Direct2dWrapper.vcxproj C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets 439

I am using Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10.

Having trouble working out how to resolve this.
Hoping someone can assist to point me in the right direction.

You'll need to use Visual Studio 2022 for version 23.1 or you can use version 22.4 with Visual Studio 2019.

Hi all,

I have the same problem with OD 22.4.5 with VS2019.

What is the solution?

Thanks

Cool and good info. Is that systemic to the build? or Specific to your build ENV and scenario (tools, 3rd party libraries, etc?)
