Windows build setup with VS2017 [has worked for me](https://github.com/akashche/jdk8u-dev/actions/runs/1977187284): [modified submit.yml](https://github.com/akashche/jdk8u-dev/blob/gh-actions-win/.github/workflows/submit.yml), [additional file for a FreeType build](https://github.com/akashche/jdk8u-dev/blob/gh-actions-win/.github/workflows/freetype.vcxproj).

There is one questionable bit, when VS installer bootstrap launcher is being taken from [my msvs_2017_installer_bootstrap repo](https://github.com/akashche/msvs_2017_installer_bootstrap). This launcher is publicly available from MSFT ([download link](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&rel=15)) but I was unable to automate its fetching easily and have uploaded it to this msvs_2017_installer_bootstrap personal repo.
