Research direction

Start by inspecting Tools/freeze and how it currently identifies or consumes Windows project files. Compare that flow with the .vcxproj files named in the issue and determine the affected inputs and behavior. Done means Tools/freeze uses .vcxproj files on Windows and the relevant freeze workflow still works.
