Navdeep, Yes since the 202002 stable tag there have been submodules introduced to the basetools. If you look closely you will see in the CI process this required a change where stuart_setup is run before calling edk2toolsbuild.py.
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/e1fbff3ded87704fb0086f9b5fb368080eb4db51#diff-6973939bf9ad6f6a3082d99ce3b32ff1 If you are using "stuart" to build then that is the suggested path as stuar_setup will init your submodules listed in the RequiredSubmodules (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/.pytool/CISettings.py#L136). Given that the edk2 project and ecosystem has numerous ways to setup your environment and build, you can also just make sure your workspace is complete prior to running Edk2ToolsBuild.py. In this case you only need to run "git submodule update --init" I just did this and it works fine with VS2019. Jim, Just as fyi as I know there are lots of reasons for toolchain selection. I believe the Visual studio build tools are available free of charge (not the IDE but the compilers).
