Your Windows build number

Windows 10 version 1903 build 18895.1000

What you're doing and what's happening

Got this error:
Error MSB3774 Could not find SDK "Microsoft.VCLibs.Desktop, Version=14.0". OpenConsolePackage C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\DesktopBridge\Microsoft.DesktopBridge.targets 266

I have exhausted all possible solutions:

  • Build with VS2017 (the same error)
  • Build with VS2019 Preview 3 (the same error)
  • Retarget platform toolset to v142 (the same error)
  • Install any components that may be missing (the same error)
  • Install the VS2015 platform toolset (v140) (the same error)
  • Switch system language from Chinese to English (the same error)
  • Switch system code page to UTF-8 (beta) (the same error)
  • Switch system code page to English-US (the same error)
  • Clone and rebuild many times (the same error)
  • Modify any possible version settings (the same error)

What's wrong / what should be happening instead

Why does a VS2017 (v141) project require VCLibs 14.0 (v140)? And the error message points to the file from Visual Studio itself. I think this is beyond my understanding.

Wish a Visual Studio expert will tell me what happened.

I think this is a problem specific to this project. I can build a UWP Demo project normally. I can also build the earlier commits (58ec47236d and earlier).
