Did you attempt to do what it suggests in the error message?
You have VS Build Tools installed and updated already?

You can retarget the project to newer toolset, by right clicking on project (in solution explorer) and selecting Retarget Project, this is happening because project file was made on older Visual Studio.
Or if that doesnt work goto project properties (by right clicking on it again) and there on general tab you will have an option somewhere mentioning Platform toolset (it will be a drop down) select the latest you got there.

Not the .vcxproj file
You should right click on the project name in solution explorer.
Scroll up
Oh you oppened it as a folder i guess
Youll have to open it by main .sln file
The one thats in very root
You can click ok
It will automatically retarget
If there was no sln file, one possibilty would be that it is not a visual studio solution/project, so then it can rely on makefiles or cmake atleast(CmakeLists.txt file) to then build such project you would require Cmake(a build system), there are many other such systems that automate building and linking, like nmake, ninja, MSBuild (used by visual studio), etc..
If the project uses none of that, you may have a manual on how to build, if thats not present either youre on your own.
Happy to have helped👌
Haha, well this is the place then.
This is common when opening a solution/project that was originally made on older or newer versions of Visual Studio than your current one.
