VCINSTALLDIR not exported

See original GitHub issue

I am currently trying to get windeployqt.exe from the Qt framework working properly so that it copies the Visual Studio vc_redist files. The problem occurs on our CI setup, but not when executed locally.

After enabling verbose output there, I noticed the message Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio installation directory, VCINSTALLDIR is not set. , and after searching about it I think this is the reason why it is not working.

Looking at https://github.com/ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd/blob/master/index.js#L14 I see that VCINSTALLDIR is not included in InterestingVariables and thus not exported. Would it be ok to include VCINSTALLDIR there?

Let me know if I should just create a pull request for that.

Alrighty. This has been properly published as msvc-dev-cmd@v1.5.0 and msvc-dev-cmd@v1.

Ok it worked perfectly in https://github.com/simulationcraft/simc-publish/actions/runs/415844010 windeployqt.exe seems to have picked up VCINSTALLDIR, and our finished bundle now contains the vc_redist.x64/x86.exe so that those pesky users lacking it can install it, and we officially distribute all required files 👍

Thanks for your support and quick responses.
