Hi @DavidXanatos ,
I was able to reproduce the error at our internal lab for windows-2022 runner image.
However, the workflow executed successfully in windows-2019.

Also, from the workflow page we see that the build was never successful i windows-2022.

We suggest to revert the runner to windows-2019 or re-evaluate the application and configuration to execute in windows 2022 environment.

In case there is a need to install any visual studio missing workload, please feel free to revert.
Thanks.
