Describe the Bug

Using mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/sdk:4.8.1 AS build

Building the .sln returns the error!
RUN dotnet build *.sln -c Release -o /app/build

Trying to

# Install Visual Studio Build Tools with the required components
RUN curl -sSL https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_buildtools.exe -o vs_buildtools.exe && \
    start /wait vs_buildtools.exe --installPath "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools" --quiet --wait --norestart --nocache --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --includeRecommended && \
    del vs_buildtools.exe

does not add the Tools

I also tried adding Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.UniversalBuildTools but did not work either! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-build-tools?view=vs-2022#windows-application-development-build-tools

Steps to Reproduce

# Use an official .NET SDK image as a parent image for Windows 
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/sdk:4.8.1 AS build
RUN curl -sSL https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_buildtools.exe -o vs_buildtools.exe && \
    start /wait vs_buildtools.exe --installPath "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools" --quiet --wait --norestart --nocache --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --includeRecommended && \
    del vs_buildtools.exe
RUN dotnet build *.sln -c Release -o /app/build
