[issue44479] Windows build doesn't regenerate some files

@Steve, after this change, the Azure Pipelines commit CI's appx tests started failing on main and 3.10.

https://dev.azure.com/Python/cpython/_build/results?buildId=83619&view=results

======================================================================
FAIL: test_printer_buttons (idlelib.idle_test.test_help_about.LiveDialogTest) (name='license')
Test buttons whose commands use printer function.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\a\1\b\layout-appx-win32\lib\idlelib\idle_test\test_help_about.py", line 65, in test_printer_buttons
    self.fail(name + ' full text was not found')
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AssertionError: license full text was not found

It seems that idlelib's license isn't included in that specific build.

FWIW, I can't repro this on my own machine. Though I recall you explaining that appx has some differences in another issue.

Please take a look if you have the time. Thanks in advance!
