Error when building with Visual Studio version prior to 15.5 #440

Closed nickwesselman closed 5 years ago

nickwesselman commented 6 years ago

Describe the bug Without Visual Studio 15.5+, the gulp build will fail with multiple MSBuild errors due to not supporting the /restore flag.

MSBUILD : error MSB1001: Unknown switch.
Switch: /restore
For switch syntax, type "MSBuild /help"
[11:00:46] MSBuild failed with code 1!
[11:00:46] 'Build-Solution' errored after 255 ms
[11:00:46] Error: MSBuild failed with code 1!

To Reproduce Attempt to build with an earlier version of Visual Studio.

Expected behavior Ideally, a message indicating that Visual Studio needs to be upgraded. At the very least, documentation needs to be updated to state this prerequisite.
