[BUG] task: MsixPackaging@1, msbuildVersion: 'latest' ==> Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.8.4161.0

[peterdrier]

Pipeline task:

• task: MsixPackaging@1 displayName: Build Msix inputs: outputPath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)\AppxPackages' solution: '$(solution)' clean: false generateBundle: false buildConfiguration: '$(buildConfiguration)' buildPlatform: '$(buildPlatform)' updateAppVersion: false appPackageDistributionMode: 'SideloadOnly' msbuildLocationMethod: 'version' msbuildVersion: 'latest' msbuildArchitecture: 'x64'

on a devops pipeline set to: vmImage: 'windows-latest'

resulted in msbuild running with version: Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.8.4161.0

I also tried forcing the msbuildVersion to '16.0' per the dropdown options, and that didn't change the version which was run.

Forcing the buildLocation did work (but hopefully we don't want to make things this fragile..): msbuildLocation: 'C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Enterprise/MSBuild/Current/Bin/msbuild.exe'

And wow, does running a version of msbuild which is 12 major versions behind cause all sorts of problems I just blew half a day on.. :-/
