             Summary: [windows8] Use the latest version of MSBuild Tools installed to build the app
                 Key: CB-6397
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6397
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Windows 8
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
         Environment: Windows8, VS2012, VS2013
            Reporter: Sergey Grebnov
            Assignee: Sergey Grebnov
             Fix For: 3.5.0


You can manually update Windows8 template to Windows8.1 to start using Cordova to build Windows8.1 apps. Such apps requires MSBuild Tools v12 to successfully build the code (Visual Studio 2013 or later).

We recently added logic to detect MSBuild version required by looking into the project file and get MSBuild location from registry (CB-6083 [windows8] Use registry to read msbuild tools path).

Unfortunately, in some case it is not possible (or super hard) to detect correct version of MSBuild required by parsing project file. The easiest and most reliable approach is to use the latest version of MSBuild tools installed on the machine.
