Windows/VS2017: Omit WindowsTargetPlatformVersion from project files.
I understood that if a WTPV is specified, it's often wrong because different VS installations have different SDK version installed. Omitting the WTPV tag makes VS2017 default to Windows SDK 8.1 which often is also missing, so in any case people may need to specify the WTPV before building. But some day in the future a missing WTPV tag will start to default to the latest installed SDK which sounds reasonable: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/140294/windowstargetplatformversion-makes-it-impossible-t.html Thanks to "dom".
