Unable to convert project to Azure 2.6 - VS 2012

Issue: Unable to open project with Azure tools v2.6 on my Visual Studio 2012.

I am trying to open an Azure SDK 2.7 project in my VS 2012.
I get a dialog saying :

enter image description here

But sadly VS 2012 only supports Azure SDK till 2.6 version only. So I can't upgrade the Azure tools to latest on my system.

Also the 2nd option is disabled. Can you please help me figure it out how to get the second option enabled so that I can convert the project to use Azure tools v2.6 and open it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Though I don't know how you can enable this radio button, but please try the following the manually change the target SDK version from 2.7 to 2.6. I tried it with one of my projects and it seemed to work fine.

  • Open up your cloud project's ccproj file in a text editor.
  • Find 2.7 in that file and replace it with 2.6. There will be 2 places where I think it is mentioned.

When I opened the solution and viewed properties of the cloud project, it told me that my project is using 2.6 and I can upgrade to 2.7 (so I think it is working fine).

I think you would need to manually change the references for all the SDK 2.7 related files (diagnostics etc.). Since I don't have VS 2012 on my machine and have SDK 2.7 installed, I was not able to test this part out.

I used this thread from MSDN forums as a reference: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8701b03a-804f-4953-9ea0-01064aa4dc16/downgrade-from-18-tools-to-17?forum=windowsazurewebsitespreview.
