How can I change the VSBuild agent location on Azure Devops?

Question

We have a project, where I wanted to check in a PR, and the build went wrong couple days ago. Turned out, that without any code / pipeline change, Azure Devops build went wrong with the following error script.

I found many solutions on net, mostly for local errors, but neither solved my issue.

We use VS2019 on our computer (without any issue), with .Net Core 2.2 and Angular 6.

yml:

pool:
  vmImage: 'windows-latest'

variables:
  solution: '**/*.sln'
  buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
  buildConfiguration: 'Release'

steps:
- task: NuGetToolInstaller@1

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  inputs:
    restoreSolution: '$(solution)'

- task: VSBuild@1
  inputs:
    solution: '$(solution)'
    msbuildArgs: '/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:DesktopBuildPackageLocation="$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)\WebApp.zip" /p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site"'

- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  inputs:
    PathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
    ArtifactName: 'drop'
    publishLocation: 'Container'

I assume that the problem will be the msbuild version at this point, but no idea (and couldn't find) how to solve that on the hosted agent.

Thanks a lot.

临时解决方案可以是向管道添加新节点任务，在其中将节点版本设置为旧版本（例如，10.16.3 应该可以工作）
