In Preparation for VS2019 (now in Preview)
VS2017 version 15.9.3 has begun issuing the following warning for all compilations using the
v141_xp toolset (i.e. all of WinMerge). VS2019 (now in Preview 1) still optionally provides the
v141_xp toolset (it has to be installed by the VS Installer); it too generates the same warning.
" ... PlatformToolsets\v141_xp\Toolset.targets(39,5):
warning MSB8051: Support for targeting Windows XP is deprecated and will not be present in
future releases of Visual Studio. Please see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=
2023588
for more information."
* The temporary way to suppress this warning is to set the <XPDeprecationWarning> property
to `false` for each build configuration in each `*.vs2017.vcxproj` file. There is no Solution or
Project "wizard" interface to do this; these property changes were inserted manually. This
suppression seems to work for both VS2017 and VS2019
* It appears that at some point VS2019 will stop supporting Win XP ... but everything is still
functional at this point
