Has any of you got this error?

error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515.

I'm not able to find the meaning of the error code anywhere. I get it when building a C++ project in VS2013 Pro.

The project compiled fine in VS2010. I made no additional changes to it after updating VS.

Fixed. I changed the Platform Toolset from Widnows SDK 7.1 to Visual Studio 2013 (v120).
