I'd need to look into this deeper, but if I had to guess, Set-MsbuildDevEnvironment is calling vcvarsall.bat and probably needs some parameters to set what configuration we want to target for by default. You should be able to pass msbuild arguments to Invoke-OpenConsoleBuild like this: Invoke-OpenConsoleBuild /p:platform=x64 to get around this for now.

Does this mean you got #1023 working?

This looks like it was probably fixed in the past:

Some combo of #1023, #930, #1113
