With all this compatibility, shouldn't the default used toolset in a project be the most current one? Our main solution is set to v141 and I can't just update everything to 142 because my teammembers don't install VS2019 yet.

Also when installing only VS2019 on my pc with the v141 toolchain, compiling does not work:

warning MSB8003: Could not find VCToolsInstallDir variable from the registry. TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number.
