## Specifying specific versions of Visual Studio
You may have a situation where your Actions runner has multiple versions of Visual Studio and you need to find a specific version of the tool. Simply add the `vs-version` input to specify the range of versions to find. If looking for a specific version, specify the minimum and maximum versions as shown in the example below, which will look for just 16.4.

```yml
- name: Add msbuild to PATH
uses: microsoft/setup-msbuild@v1.0.1
with:
vs-version: [16.4,16.5)
vs-version: '[16.4,16.5)'
