Issue Description

The Developer Division at Microsoft is working on Visual Studio 2022 which is currently in Preview. In order to enable dogfooding scenarios (and customer scenarios once VS 2022 ships) we need the VSBuild task to support the use of VS 2022.

Is this fixed in Azure Pipelines Agent v2.191.1? I see the referenced PR is merged into releases/m191 but I'm not sure where it goes from there.

I don't see it in the Azure Pipelines Agent release notes https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent/releases

[anatolybolshakov]

@krokofant the relevant fix is currently on deployment - we will let you know once it's available.

Which version of Azure DevOps Server is expected to have the updated tasks with VS2022 support? I.e. with .NET 6 support being in VS2022?

[AnnaOpareva]

Hi, @japj, @krokofant
Support VS 2022 added to VSBuild task in version 1.192.3. Currently, this version has been deployed.

@AnnaOpareva, @japj, @krokofant how do I get the updated VSBuild Task when using Azure Dev Ops Server 2020.1 or Azure Dev Ops Server 2019 on premises? And are the nuget restore and test tasks also updated to use the latest vs (2022)?

Will this task be deployed via AzureDevOps Server Update or via azure-pipelines-agent update (it seems the latest version of the pipeline agents does not have the fix included: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent/releases/tag/v2.193.1)
