Description
Hi,
I installed VS 2019 with Build Tools 14.24 but my "setup.py build" still fails with the below error in msvc.py file:
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.1 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
And AFAIK, the msvc.py should support Build Tools 14.24
What I'm missing? anyone could help?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with VS 2019 Build Tools 14.24 and setup.py build. Read msvc.py alongside the reported Microsoft Visual C++ 14.1 detection error, then determine why that installation is not recognized. Done means the build succeeds or the issue identifies a confirmed compatibility limitation.
