I think your question may be similar to this one:

How to I update my C++ project in Visual Studio 2015 to use the new Universal CRT?

I had to do a couple things to get older C++ projects to work with VS2015.

First, I had to make sure I installed MFC as part of VS2015.

Second, I needed to add to my LibraryPath, for my 32-bit project:

$(UniversalCRT_LibraryPath_x86)

So now my vcxproj file has this for its LibraryPath

<LibraryPath Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'">C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\wxp\i386;$(VCInstallDir)lib;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib;$(WindowsSdkDir_71A)lib;$(UniversalCRT_LibraryPath_x86)</LibraryPath>

Third, I had to refresh my understanding of the variety of C Run-Time libraries with VS2015, since they have changed a little bit. Here's the link to CRT Library Features on MSDN, which explains how all the switches affect what in VS2015:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh.aspx

Some of my vcxproj switches were mismatched with what MSDN said. It took a little effort to get them all straightened out.

Then I realized I had only done my Debug configuration. I had to also make all the changes all over again to my Release configuration. Good safety tip.

Hope that helps!
