Using Visual Studio 2019. build engine 14.0.25420.1 from command prompt at the CsvReader-master folder (freshly unzipped from github archive) Typing build I get back:

I am also encountering this build issue. @phatcher , could you offer some advice? Are there some minor changes needed? Could you also specify in the readme.md what OS and .Net versions are required to build successfully?

Thanks, Adam

@lancasteradam , @DIYsciBorg please verify that based on my fork: https://github.com/drcolombo/CsvReader. I believe this repository is not maintained anymore and I've already updated the whole project to support FAKE 5 last year.
