Build is failing with missing afxres.h which belongs to MFC.

What can I do? Switch back to 2017 for now?

   This image is in building stage now and we update it often. Please watch https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/2985. It would be very helpful if you confirm that VS component we plan to add (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ATLMFC) is correct.

   According to the component's name, it's correct. But how I can look at the names of components installed by VS Installer on my computer? Just to be 146% sure)

   Appreciate the help. I think here you can find a proper approach. I would add a filter to the last line though, e.g.

   Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
   Install-Module VSSetup -Scope CurrentUser -Force
   (Get-VSSetupInstance | Select-VSSetupInstance -Product *).packages | ? {$_.id -like "*MFC*" -and $_.Version -like "16*"}

   Here, that should be the list of packages that are required to install.

   In VS Installer you can just select "MFC for x86 and x64", it will say that "ATL for x86 and x64" is also required and that's all, while internally "MFC for x86 and x64" and "ATL..." is separated to several packages.

   I tried to double-check and was not able to find an option called exactly MFC for x86 and x64. Here is a screen of SDKs, libraries, and frameworks in Individual components in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.1.3. When specific one should be checked? Sorry my ignorance :)

   not able to find an option called exactly

   True, It was an approximate name, since I'm using Russian-localized VS Installer I just translated it roughly. My bad)

   According to the screenshot, it's name is C++ MFC for v142 build tools (x86 & x64)
