Issue Description
I have recently ported my Specflow project from VS2019 to VS2022.
Have also updated to these packages during that process. It compiles well on VS2022 , well after lot of struggle with the Specflow extension, had to uninstall and reinstall the extension as the project references were going messy.
However on our build server (Windows R 2016) using MSBuild 17 , it fails to compile with the following error message..
SpecFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation.3.9.74\build\SpecFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation.targets(93,5): error MSB4062: The "SpecFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation.GenerateFeatureFileCodeBehindTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly
SpecFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation.3.9.74\build..\tasks\net461\SpecFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'TechTalk.SpecFlow, Version=3.9.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0778194805d6db41' or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
Steps to Reproduce
and use msbuild 17 from VS Build Tools 2022 to build the solution.
