I just installed version 3 of the application. And used it to open Visual Studio C++ project. And it faild. MSBuild Explorer was unable to resolve:
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" />
Judging by message the problem was that $(VCTargetsPath) was not defined.
At the same time the project works just fine from Visual Studio.
I use Visual Studio 2013 Express edition on recently updated Windows 10 (previously Windows 7).
My workaround was to create a .cmd script (in the directory that holds start menu shortcuts) that does this:
SET VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120
"MSBuild Explorer 3.appref-ms"
It does work well. MSBuild Explorer opened that way is able to open the C++ project normally. (But for some reason the .cmd file doesn't show up in start menu - must be Windows 10 thing...)
