execution hangs

[acnicholls]

I'm trying to create an installer for my little winforms app, and the call to devenv is failing to complete. it runs in about 25 seconds on my local machine, but times out after 10 minutes on the windows-latest action runner. I have tried both Debug and Release configurations on my machine and both build within visual studio and the Debug build from CLI with the exact below command. My VS Version is Professional and the action runner has Enterprise, but the project is a simple one and the execution seems to start but never end.

the command i use is this

        devenv.exe .\pdf-combine.sln \
          /Build RELEASE \
          /Project pdf-combine-setup \
          /Log InstallerBuild.log \
          /Out InstallerBuild.log \
          /NoSplash \
