Seeking alternative for Windows local CI tests (deprecation imminent)

[humbletim]

While currently only affecting local CI tests, there is a remaining node.js deprecation warning that could potentially become an error message later and halt workflows.

However, the component in question -- seanmiddleditch/gha-setup-vsdevenv -- seems stuck at v4 and the maintainer appears inactive. It also looks like it is more complex in that node.js native action case than just bumping a project reference (actual javascript changes appear needed). It's possible one of the other PRs there attempted something while proposing migration to a later core API version previously.

References:

• actions/runs/7834448412 (how the lingering deprecation warning manifests in gha logs)
• seanmiddleditch/gha-setup-vsdevenv#18
• seanmiddleditch/gha-setup-vsdevenv#21
• https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-vs-dev-environment

Possible alternatives could include migrating to a different action, manually patching the action, or contributing to the upstream project.

Current workaround being used locally just clones the repo manually and triggers installation in a way that absorbed the unwanted (and in this case unused) ::set-output action output. This is of course unideal.
