[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice] [regression] [worked-in:17.9/16.*]
I have installed two versions of Visual Studio in my computer, VS2019 and VS2022, my 2019 version has C/C++ installed, but my 2022 version does not, when I use MSBuild to compile python3.11.10, the program keeps reporting errors, the error is as follows:
error MSB8020: Unable to find build tool for v142 (platform toolset="v142"). To build using the v142 build tool, install the v142 build tool. Alternatively, you can upgrade to the current Visual Studio tool by selecting the Project menu or by right-clicking the solution, and then selecting Retarget Solution.
Then, I checked the directory of MSBuild where the error was reported, which is the MSBuild in the VS2019 installation directory, and if I open and compile it with the graphical program of Visual Studio 2019, it will not report the error.
Finally, I installed C/C++ support for the 2022 version so that it could compile and run properly
