If I remember correctly... v140 build tools are only available under vs2015.

Re: compiling 20160217 v140 error
You should be able to right click the solution (in VS) and change the toolset.
Re: compiling 20160217 v140 error
I ran into this as well. Was like 2 am so I wasn't really too awake.
If I remember correctly the MQ2ChatWnd project changed, so I reverted to last release and just copied the MQ2ChatWnd.cpp file from the new release into the folder and compiled normally.

Re: compiling 20160217 v140 error
Yup working now... thank you
Re: compiling 20160217 v140 error
at some point along the way the "update VC+++ projects" disappeared, or at least I could not find labeled as such.
I have VS2015, and for me I right click the solution, in the drop down menu I select "Retarget Solution" and that gives me the option to update all projects. Else I have to do it singly

Maybe I am missing something or someone else has a better way of doing it, but that has been working for me.

Happened for me too. Best answer is to change the project's target for chatwnd.
Seems likely that someone accidentally changed it this release.
