Visual Studio 2012 C++ platform toolsets missing [duplicate]

Question

I have Visual Studio 2008 installed on my machine and now installed VS2012. In the C++-project-settings of VS2012 I should now be able to change the platform toolset back to VC++2008 (V90), but there's only the new version VC++2012 (V110) available. Does anybody know the reason why my old installation of VS2008 is not recognized or how I can manually add the old platform toolset?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The v90 platform toolset is part of VS 2010, so you must install both VS 2008 and VS 2010.
