Description

Using the current starter workflow for MSBuild, I've found two problems.

First, you should upgrade to using microsoft/setup-msbuild@v2 to avoid a deprecation warning.

Second, this syntax doesn't work:

working-directory: ${{env.GITHUB_WORKSPACE}}

It needs to be:

working-directory: ${{ github.workspace }}
