Might be a bug: The license for Visual Studio has expired.

When I try to build a VS2010 in Slickedit, I am getting this error:

Code: [Select]

I do not get the error when I build using VS2010 directly.

When you loaded the solution, it does try to pick a platform toolset to build from, and will default to the latest installed version of Visual Studio toolset if it is not explicitly set in one of the Visual Studio projects.  There is a def-var you can set to override any checks and you can specify the version you want to build, on the SlickEdit command-line you can use:
set-var def_use_visual_studio_version 10

and that will set the Visual Studio enviroment to version 10 (VS2010) when you load a solution file.

Problem fixed, thanks.

Ok, new problem. I'm trying to compile a simple program in VS2013, and I'm getting an error:

Well, it got fixed after I unset the variable that I was using to get it to work with 2010. I also had to restart Slickedit.

True, unsetting def_use_visual_studio_version does not automatically reset the all the environment variables for builds.  It only applies to setting the environment on loading the solution.  You would need to close and reload the solution, or restart SlickEdit for that.   There are built-in commands you can run on the SlickEdit command-line that will change those environment variables on demand if you ever need them:
set-visualstudio2015-environment
set-visualstudio2013-environment
set-visualstudio2012-environment
set-visualstudio2010-environment
set-visualstudio2008-environment
set-visualstudio2005-environment
