What is Msvc toolset?

Build's msvc toolset supports the Microsoft Visual C++ command-line tools on Microsoft Windows. It supports any version of Visual C++, but in case you have more than one version of Visual C++ installed, and you want to use both, the additional vc7 toolset can be used for Visual C++ 7.0.

It is an MSBuild property that controls the specific version of the platform toolset that you want to use.

More info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh454232%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Most likely you want to use the last stable Windows SDK. You can check the toolset that you are using looking at your Visual Studio project file (.vcxproj), looking for this XML entry:

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'"       Label="Configuration">   <ConfigurationType>Driver</ConfigurationType>   <DriverType>KMDF</DriverType>   <PlatformToolset>WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1</PlatformToolset> </PropertyGroup>
