Error during project file parsing: Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.InvalidProjectFileException: The tools version "14.1" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "2.0", "3.5", "4.0".

After upgrading Visual Studio to version 2017 I receive the follow error:

Error during project file parsing: Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.InvalidProjectFileException: The tools version "14.1" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "2.0", "3.5", "4.0".  C:\workspace_trunk\ProcessBridge.NET\ProcessBridge\ProcessBridge.csproj

   bei ProjectFileParser.Program.Main(String[] args)

With the follow debug lines:

msbuild {
   println getCommandLineArgs()
   println msbuild.msbuildDir
}

I can see the right msbuild tool version 15 from VS 2017. But the tool ProjectFileParser.exe seems to use a different version of the tool. How can I solve the problem? How the msbuild.exe are searched in the tool ProjectFileParser.exe?
