CI: Build Detours library before RemoteNET solution

[Copilot]

• Explore repo and existing workflow
• Add msbuild /t:restore,build ALL_BUILD.vcxproj to the "Prepare Detours library" step
• Map matrix Release -> RelWithDebInfo and Debug -> Debug for Detours /p:Configuration
• Validate workflow YAML is correct

Original prompt

Repository: theXappy/RemoteNET

Goal
Add a GitHub Actions workflow step to compile Detours, matching the README build instructions:

• Run cmake ..\detours.net
• Run msbuild /t:restore,build ALL_BUILD.vcxproj

Context
Workflow file to modify:

• .github/workflows/dotnet-desktop.yml (on branch main)

Requirements

1. Update the workflow so Detours is built before building the RemoteNET solution/projects.
2. Ensure the commands run on the appropriate Windows runner and from the correct working directory so the relative path ..\detours.net works (or adjust paths appropriately while keeping the same build intent).
3. Prefer using the MSBuild that comes with the Visual Studio Build Tools installed on the runner (use microsoft/setup-msbuild or vswhere as needed).
4. Keep the workflow readable and consistent with existing style.
5. If the workflow already uses CMake/MSBuild, integrate without duplicating setup.

Deliverable
A pull request to theXappy/RemoteNET updating .github/workflows/dotnet-desktop.yml to compile Detours in CI.

Reference instructions (from README)

cmake ..\detours.net
msbuild /t:restore,build ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
Open RemoteNET.sln in Visual Studio
Compile the RemoteNET project

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: Add a step to compile Detours
just like I have in the readme

cmake ..\detours.net
msbuild /t:restore,build ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
Open RemoteNET.sln in Visual Studio
Compile the RemoteNET project

Assistant: I’ve queued up the change to add the Detours build step to the workflow, and I’m waiting for your approval in the prompt/dialog so I can proceed.

@copilot we're missing /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo when the type of build is "Release". fix it in a way that dues this or "Debug" depending on the yaml parameter

Done in commit 4ef1022. Added a Detours_Configuration env var that maps the matrix value: Release → RelWithDebInfo, Debug → Debug using a GitHub Actions inline conditional expression:

env:
  Detours_Configuration: ${{ matrix.configuration == 'Release' && 'RelWithDebInfo' || matrix.configuration }}

This is then passed to msbuild as /p:Configuration=$env:Detours_Configuration.
