I have installed the v141_xp build tools, but I nevertheless get the error
below:

"D:\SystemFolders\Downloads\wix3\wix.proj" (default target) (1) ->
"D:\SystemFolders\Downloads\wix3\src\tools\tools.proj" (default target) (39)

r v141_xp (Platform Toolset = 'v141_xp') cannot be found. To build using the
v141_xp build tools, please install v141_xp build tools.  Alternatively, you
may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu
or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".
[D:\SystemFolders\Downloads\wix3\src\libs\wcautil\wcautil.vcxproj]

I also tried: D:\SystemFolders\Downloads\wix3 > msbuild
/p:PlatformToolset=v142
Same result.

The error is raised for the following projects:

dutil.vcxproj
wcautil.vcxproj
deputil.vcxproj



Any hints regarding this issue?

Thanks.
