USBView Compile Error

[pcpro178]

I just downloaded the USBView sample application...

...and I'm getting a cryptic error when compiling with Visual Studio 2010.

Any thoughts or ideas to resolve this would be appreciated. I'm using Windows 7, 32-bit. Thanks.

The page you linked says it requires VS2012.

Thanks, naraku. I was able to resolve the problem by installing Visual Studio 2012 Express and recommended components, removing the offending line from the Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets file (double-clicked error message), and compiling as Release.
