Hmm.  It looks like VS2019 isn't being autodetected.
It seems to be working for Tom's test runners.

Maybe see what you get from:

vswhere -latest -products * -requires
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 -property
installationPath -version "[16.0,17.0)"

(This is how Boost.Build tries to detect VS2019.)
