I modified my VS2010 project in VS2012, and now when I move back to VS2010, it shows:
"error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v110) is not installed or invalid. .lease make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected."
But the problem I have already changed the PlatformToolset from v110 to v100 via Project–> Property–> Configureation ..–> General –> PlatformToolset : v100
The error message still there after I compiling the projects again. I was confused. Could anyone knows what the problem is now? Thanks!

The toolset error could be caused by a referenced project. You can find the culprit by doing the following:
For example, if you are building project X you might get the following error showing that referenced project FooBar.vcxproj specifies the toolset as v110 causing the error:
After resolving the problem, be sure to put back the build output verbosity to normal and revert any change to the number of parallel project builds.
