Research direction
Start by locating the action's MSBuild version and architecture selection logic, then review the linked MSBuild 17 documentation. Confirm how the action detects a 64-bit machine and define completion as selecting 64-bit MSBuild 17 or later by default in that environment without changing other cases.
