[Bug] 6.1 started failing on Windows-latest runners

[max-leuthaeuser]

• I have gone through the action README, documentation and wiki.
• I don't see my issue listed in existing issues.

Describe the bug
The action fails with

Error: The process 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe' failed with exit code 1

To Reproduce
Use:

 - name: Set up Swift
   if: matrix.os == 'windows-latest'
   uses: SwiftyLab/setup-swift@latest
   with:
       check-latest: true
       development: true
       swift-version: "6.1"

Note: this could be related to actions/runner-images#12764 but I am not sure.

Also you can see the exact same issue on your CI here: https://github.com/SwiftyLab/setup-swift/actions/runs/17028364197/job/48266902651

True cause might be: Microsoft removed older SDK on 2022 installer actions/runner-images#12776

@max-leuthaeuser seems like the Windows SDK version 10.0.22000.0 was removed from the runner causing the error. Can you try passing Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22621 in visual-studio-components.

 - name: Set up Swift
   if: matrix.os == 'windows-latest'
   uses: SwiftyLab/setup-swift@latest
   with:
       check-latest: true
       development: true
       swift-version: "6.1"
       visual-studio-components: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22621

Thanks, that did the trick!

@soumyamahunt Can the v1 tag be moved to include this fix? CI still fails in windows runners when using v1. Thank you!

@amaanq tag is now updated to latest release: https://github.com/SwiftyLab/setup-swift/releases/tag/v1.12.0
