When building the BYOC image you can select the option to install Visual Studio 2019 Test Agent and Build Tools
However the install of the Build tools doesnt include any of the Web/WCF components.

error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\
WCF\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ServiceModel.targets" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\WCF\Microsoft.Visual
Studio.ServiceModel.targets" is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Can the deployment script be extended to include these components e.g.

vs_buildtools.exe --quiet --wait --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.WebBuildTools
vs_buildtools.exe --quiet --wait --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Wcf.BuildTools.ComponentGroup

   Found a way to install it in the Build script but would be much nicer if it was already built into the image as its just more wasted build time

   $msbuildWCFComponentPath = "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\WCF"
   
     if(-not (Test-Path $msbuildWCFComponentPath)) {
   
       Write-Host "Install MSBuild Components" -BackgroundColor DarkMagenta -ForegroundColor White
   
       $exePath = "$env:TEMP\vs_BuildTools.exe"
       (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/1e5ff7fe-162b-4a3d-8fda-3267702b551d/e25ce34fd81235ebbd79010afad8e63f/vs_buildtools.exe', $exePath)
       cmd /c start /wait $exePath --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.WebBuildTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Wcf.BuildTools.ComponentGroup --passive --norestart           
       del $exePath
     }

   AppVeyor-BYOC module has been updated with these 2 components: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AppVeyorBYOC/1.0.176
