In the past I have found this file under the MSBuild folder, so I assumed it was
part of MSBuild.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props
However it appears to not be a part of this repository. I was excited when I
noticed that MSBuild was on GitHub, as a 7 MB download is more tolerable
than 6.5 GB download.
This is correct, C++ targets and tasks aren't included in this repo (not open sourced at this time).
@svnpenn your comment was deleted due its rude / offensive nature. Please keep the discussion on this topic professional.
@AndyGerlicher please confirm why this was closed. Is this issue WONTFIX or WISH?
@svnpenn I passed your feedback on to the C++ team. I don't think there is a plan to open source at this time though. There is a new Build Tools sku of Visual Studio "15" you can download here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/11/16/introducing-the-visual-studio-build-tools/
That will have the targets/tasks from C++.
