Visual Studio 2019 C# WCF Test Client not working with svcutil.exe

I have an WCF Test Client application which was originally created in Visual Studio 2017 which worked fine, however once I upgraded my Visual Studio to 2019 and re-ran the application, I get the following error message: The dependent tool 'svcutil.exe' is not found (see screenshot).

Note, I checked and svcutil.exe exists in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools

Any idea why it is no longer working?

VS2019 shipped before 4.8 was available, it used 4.7.2 tooling. No real idea if an update fixes this, but the next thing to try. – Hans Passant
