MSVC installation issues

This is now mostly fixed for VS2019 and VS2017. But still requires some more testing. The best way to fix it is to run the tests and debug the issues.

Old Description

Copied from https://github.com/jberezanski/ChocolateyPackages/issues/117

I am using visualstudio2017buildtools and visualstudio2019buildtools to set up MSVC. However, my tests fail because vcvars.bat cannot find the toolset.
