No go on VS 2012 yet.

When building a tree with your patch applied using VS 2012 Express via a
command line environment set up with:

"c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

which is the same as the "32-bit build tools" Start menu entry, the
build fails with:

C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(518,5):
error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v110) is not installed or
invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is
selected.
[c:\pg\postgresql\sdk8.0_cl17_vs11.0\x86\Release\vs2012\postgres.vcxproj]

In case it's relevant, the Microsoft SDK for Windows 8 is installed on
this machine and appears to have been detected, as WindowsSdkDir has
been set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\ .

I haven't explicitly set PlatformToolset in the environment.

The machine also has Visual Studio 2010 Express SP1 and the Microsoft
Windows SDK 7.1 with VS SP1 and VS SP1 compiler update on it. All work fine.

Thoughts?

How have you been testing VS2012 builds? In what environment?
