Fix: msbuild fails during install - unsupported project.json

[CzBuCHi]

during install msbuild print 'no project found' warning and quits ... its during command node tools/install.js - because lib/bootstrap/project.json file is no longer supported ...

after creating lib/bootstrap/project.csproj with content bellow and building it in VS2017 msbuild no longer prinnts 'no project found' ...

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
   <PropertyGroup>
      <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.0</TargetFramework>
   </PropertyGroup>
   <ItemGroup>      
      <PackageReference Include="Edge.js" Version="7.10.1" />
      <PackageReference Include="Edge.js.CSharp" Version="1.2.0" />
   </ItemGroup>
</Project>

@CzBuCHi I'm quite new to edge and dotnet core. But I faced the same with VS2015, You could have done the same with dotnet migrate and npm rebuild to build electron-edge and edge-cs. even thought this was building fine, I could not get this working against a released .net core version. Only I could point to an older version and get this running without migrating to csproj format. https://github.com/kexplo/electron-edge/issues/39

I also have a similar issue:

This error appear when trying to install through npm.

fwiw, I had this error after I had deleted my node_modules/bin (and any other bin folders recursively inside my node_modules folder). Simply deleting node_modules and running npm install got me back to happy land.

@JorgeHawkins please take a look at this issue: https://github.com/kexplo/electron-edge/issues/47. @CzBuCHi this is an issue related to support for .NET Core above 1.0.0, take a look at this issue: https://github.com/kexplo/electron-edge/issues/48
