I am trying to write a program in C++ to run on windows xp machines, but when I go to set the tool set to Visual Studio 2012 - Windows XP (v110_xp) it is missing. All that I have is Visual Studio 2012 (v110). Does anyone know how to get the other options here?

You may need to install an update, Windows XP support wasn't available in the initial release of VS 2012. Go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Updates and install all available updates.

    Thank you, trying this now. I figured since i Just installed from Microsoft's website yesterday I would be good to go, but I was wrong. – June Lewis Oct 09 '13 at 17:15
  • Thank you! This got me working. Though it never did give me the dropdown, I had to type the option in. – June Lewis Oct 09 '13 at 20:27

    @JoelLewis: Happens with all Microsoft products. You download the most recent installer from their website - and then, immediately after the installation, you spend hours installing hundreds of updates. – mastov Jul 23 '15 at 12:57
