A Visual Studio solution file generator.
In this Winget package, the x64 installer mode is designed with .NET 10.0 and .NET Framework in mind, while the x86 installer mode is designed with only .NET Framework in mind. The executables for .NET 8.0 and 9.0 are also in the package, but they and their dependencies would need to be handled client-side.
