Building the 8.0 project using MSBuild fails

[libreliodev]

@dd1804 We are trying to build the 8.0 project using MSBuild.

The command we are using is

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86 /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0 /p:VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120" /m

However, when doing so, we get the following error

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.Cpp.Pla
   tform.targets(64,5): error MSB8020: The build tools for Windows 8 (Platf
   orm Toolset = 'v110') cannot be found. To build using the v110 build too
   ls, please install Windows 8 build tools.  Alternatively, you may upgrad
   e to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or ri
   ght-click the solution, and then selecting "Upgrade Solution...".

Can you please let us know:

• should we install the Windows 8 build Tools or upgrade the Solution?
• and by the way, do we still really need the 8.0 version of the project, or is the 8.1 version enough?

Thank you for suggesting to use

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86 /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0 /p:VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120" /m

It works. However, we now have the following error message when trying to build the 8.0 version:
