----------------------------------

             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.
