The .build folder does not create when install Nuget package

[abakumov-v]

Hi!

When I'm tried install the latest version (1.5.0.196) of Nuget-package "MSBuildTasks" (through VS 2015 Update 1), the important folder ".build" does not create automatically.

Log of Package Manager Console is:

PM> install-Package MSBuildTasks Lifeit.TestApp
Attempting to gather dependencies information for package 'MSBuildTasks.1.5.0.196' with respect to project 'Lifeit.TestApp', targeting '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5'

Added package 'MSBuildTasks.1.5.0.196' to 'packages.config'

But if I',m installing one of previous version - 1.4.0.128 - then Package Manager Console log is:

PM> install-Package MSBuildTasks Lifeit.TestApp -Version 1.4.0.128

Hi there, I was trying to use the nuget package and i see the same issue, no .build folder to find after install. I have checked that the folder is correctly created if installing last 1.4 version (1.4.0.128). Any news of this?

Have a same problem with VS 2017+.Net 4.7

Come on...

This is also a problem if you upgrade from <1.4.0.128 to current as it leaves the old .build folder in place with the .dll and .targets of the old version intact. So you will be using an old build thinking you're not.
