Research direction
Start at Cake.Common.Tools.MSBuild.MSBuildAliases.MSBuild and reproduce the failure on 64-bit Windows with Cake 0.34.1 and MSBuildToolVersion.VS2019PreRelease. Investigate how the MSBuild executable is located for that version; done means the setting resolves the executable instead of raising “MSBuild: Could not locate executable.”
