title: Is there a way to global set the platform toolset to v110 on VS 2013?
body: <p>I've been perusing through similar questions on stack overflow and could not find a specific or definitive enough answer to this question:</p>
  
  <p>I am currently using MSVS 2013 Ultimate, and have separately downloaded MS build tools 2013 as well. I am trying to install some npm modules that use the earlier platform toolset of MSBuild to compile and after following instructions from MSDN on how to <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff770576.aspx" rel="nofollow">Modify the Target Framework</a> to a different platform, those did not help me successfully download the packages either. My current project is dealing with javascript and I'm not using visual studio in the near future, so I'm extremely flexible in terms of changing its configuration settings at the moment.</p>
  
  <p>I am afraid that I'll have to resort to downloading VS 2012 in order to do this, unless someone found a clear cut alternative.</p>
  
  <p>I am currently running everything on Windows 8 Enterprise x64. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for all the help.</p>
