Brief description of tool

The Visual Studio 2022 installed on the windows-2022 image has the 'v142' platform toolset which means it can build VS 2019 projects. Since windows-2019 is being deprecated, I moved to this version.

Unfortunately, the windows-2022 image is missing Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.14.29.16.11.MFC which means building VS 2019 v142 MFC projects fails.
