I've downloaded a c++ project. I opened the .sln file and I tried to build the project. I got the following error:

error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v120) is not installed or invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected.

I ve already checked that the platform toolset is set to v120. What is the problem here?

Either change the platform toolset of your project to v100 (as you have installed VS2010) or install VS2013 in order to use v120.
