Jesse MacFadyen resolved CB-6397.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> [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: Jesse MacFadyen
> 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.
