So,I am trying to port some old code to newer version of vs so I imported the sln of the project into my vs 2013 and I get this error and some others and I have gone through some of the other questions on this forum.So I understand that this has something to do with MFC(microsoft foundation classes) but all of them talk about vs 2010 express edition which doesn't include MFC module.I am currently using vs 2013 community edition which is supposed to have full feature access of vs.Still I get this error so please help!!

Thanks!
