Hi!

You were using vsversion: 16.0 so this action was trying to find VS 2019. Did you run your workflow on "windows-latest" or "windows-2022"? There is only VS 2022 on that OS ¹. Omitting the vsversion parameter may solve the problem. You can also use "windows-2019" as the platform to run VS 2019 ².

In addition, IIRC, the toolset: 14.0 parameter MAY not work since there is no "14.0" VC++ toolset on GitHub Actions runners. See:

• Toolset directory for version '14.38' was not found. #80
• Toolset directory for version '14.3' was not found #81

.

Thanks for your response. I suggest updating READM.md to help determine which specific compilers and SDK versions are supported.

Good suggestion! I think I will make a PR later.
