Hard to say with all the batch scripts hiding things….

Generally you can control the tools you are using by passing them in to the build.exe command. So you would pass -t VS2012. 

The definition of the tools lives here: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template

When you run https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/edksetup.bat you get local copies of the BaseTools/Conf/*.template copied to the Conf directory. 

The defaults for the arguments for the build command come from Conf/target.txt (copied from https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/BaseTools/Conf/target.template). Thus the default is MYTOOLS, which looks like VS2008.  

You can update Conf/target.txt to point at another version of the tools(this sets the default if -t is not passed to the build command), if the scripts are passing -t to the build command you will have to do something script specific.  If you installed the compiler to a non default location then you may have to edit the “common path macros” in the Conf/tools_def.txt. 

Thanks,
