It is not clear what is needed in the msvc2017.tar package

[VectorWorkshopBaoErJie]

I am not very clear about the content needed in msvc2017.tar package. I tried to use command to generate it,

but failed. When building the container, I was prompted to lack relevant content.Another question is whether

it is possible to upgrade to the 2019 version, thank you。

See also https://github.com/godotengine/build-containers/issues/76#issuecomment-797817982, but even with that I couldn't able to compile for UWP once I've built the container, SCons complained that it couldn't detect the compiler, whatever I've tried (both with and without sudo). If someone finds a solution to this, please comment.

Also note that UWP platform is fairly unmaintained so I'm not really sure whether it's really worth the effort as of now, especially that UWP export is broken/regressed currently.

MSVC container is not used to compile for desktop PC either (MinGW toolchain is used instead).

But yeah, it's better to update to 2019 rather than trying to replicate the exact 3-4 years old configuration used in official podman registry (which is private and only accessible to selected members in this organization).
