Cannot load UWP projects

Thanks a lot for your great library! When going over a rather big solution I found a problem related to UWP project. I worked around the issue by simply ignoring the UWP projects for now.

Project:

https://github.com/mrexodia/ClangPowerToolsUwpTest

Code:

using net.r_eg.MvsSln;
using System;

namespace VsProjectStuff
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var sln = new Sln(@"c:\CodeBlocks\ClangPowerToolsUwpTest\UwpTest.sln", SlnItems.All))
                foreach (var project in sln.Result.ProjectItems)
                    Console.WriteLine($"guid: {project.pGuid}, path: {project.path}");
        }
    }
}

Exception:

Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ToolLocationHelper]::GetPlatformSDKDisplayName($(SDKIdentifier), $(SDKVersion))". Method 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ToolLocationHelper.GetPlatformSDKDisplayName' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(`a`, `b`)).

Hey,

For me it doesn’t matter too much anymore to be honest… I wouldn’t be opposed to updating the target framework version, since this stuff is all running on whatever environment I want anyway. However, recently we dropped UWP support so I guess it won’t be an issue anymore going forward…

Thanks for the follow up though, your library has been (and is) tremendously useful for us and I will try to get some appreciative donation in your direction 💯

@mrexodia I see, thanks for the info. I’m also glad that’s still helpful tool 😃

Well anyway, I’ll consider new way later for future .net core distr etc.
