Visual Studio 2012 macros uses VS2010 values

My working computer had Visual Studio 2010 installed previously. It was working fine.

To gain full support for C++11, the 2012 was installed to this computer recently (VS2010 was not removed, since some old project need it).

My problem is: If I launch VS2012, the Visual Studio user values (e.G. $(VSInstallDir), $(VCInstallDir), $(ExecutablePath) etc.) are the VS2010's values, not the values suitable for VS2012.

What is the reason for it? And how can I solve this problem? The VS2012 must use its' own user values.

Since multiple installations are there, you can select the Platform Toolset from

Project Property Pages\ Configuration Properties\General\Platform Toolset

If it still doesn't work, do the following as last resort:

Edit the following file to change the macros:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.Cpp.Common.props

For me it is V120. Whatever version it is for you, change it accordingly.
