How to specifc std in vcproj

I have some Windows software, that I only build on a remote Windows VM. I have no GUI access to the remote or any other Windows machine.

I would like to specifc /std:c++17 now. Reading through the vcproj docs, I could not yet find, where in that file I would add the option. Could anyone elaborate?

Assuming the build is based on the .vcxproj project file (as opposed to an external makefile or other), the language conformance level is defined under <ClCompile><LanguageStandard> for each configuration. For example, to add /std:c++17 to the Release x64 build, insert (or modify) the following <LanguageStandard> line. Repeat for other configurations as applicable.

  <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|x64'">
    <ClCompile>
      <!-- other existing settings -->
      <LanguageStandard>stdcpp17</LanguageStandard>
    </ClCompile>
  </ItemDefinitionGroup>
