This action sets up MSBuild.exe as a CLI tool for use in actions by:

• optionally downloading and caching a version of VSWhere.exe to help find the latest MSBuild on the machine
• Adds the location of the MSBuild to the PATH

This GitHub action is now retired/archived as I have collobrated directly with Microsoft to release an official MSBuild GitHub Action https://github.com/microsoft/setup-msbuild https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-msbuild-exe
