Project properties do not open - "There are no property pages to select"

Visual Studio does not unexpectedly display Project Properties for multiple projects in multiple solution files.

I right-clicked on a project in Solution Explorer and I get an error message: There are no property pages for the selection.

I do not think that the problem may be related to the project files themselves - I see this in the project files pulled from the general git repository without any changes; These projects worked correctly yesterday and continue to work without problems for my friends in the office.

I do not know if Visual Studio settings have been changed in any way.

Any idea what could be causing this?

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015, version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1, on Windows 7 (SP1), and I am working on projects in C ++.

I found the source of the problem! The problem is my environment variable VCTargetsPath.

It turns out that mine is VCTargetsPathset to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140

- what seems right; what is the correct directory.

Unfortunately, it lacks a final backslash - it should be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\

Without this backslash at the end, it doesn't work.

Apparently, the problems I ran into were various Visual Studio examples trying to compile paths incorrectly on top of that path, for example. The following error I was trying to create an Android project (shown in bold):

1 > C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.Cpp.Clang.targets(210,5): MSB4062: "ClangCompile" C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\ V140Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common.dll. :///C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\ V140Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common.dll . .
