XamlCompiler.sln / XamlCompilerTests.sln failed with "MSB4057: The target Build does not exist in the project" because four test helper projects had no usable final .targets import. - LibManagedDll, LibManagedWinmd and LibManagedDllSatellite (UAP libs) now resolve the WindowsXaml C# targets by probing for an installed toolset version (v17.0 -> v16.0 -> v15.0, falling back to $(VisualStudioVersion)), so a stale hardcoded path can no longer point the import at a directory that does not exist. - The import is gated on Exists() and guarded by ExcludeRestorePackageImports so NuGet restore is unaffected. - An EnsureWindowsXamlTargetsPresent target, wired via InitialTargets, emits an actionable error when the UWP toolset is absent instead of a cryptic MSB4019/MSB4057. - XamlCompilerProxies (.NET Framework v4.7.2, non-UAP) imports the standard Microsoft.CSharp.targets, matching its parent harness XamlCompilerUnitTests.
