Installing XamlStyler.Console as Local Tool doesn't work

[michael-hawker]

Describe the bug Wanted to use dotnet tool restore to easily install all tools required by our CI and manage them all via a manifest vs. specific install commands everywhere (as we also wanted to use in git hooks as well).

Trying to run XamlStyler.Console as a dotnet local tool is failing to run properly (tried in PowerShell and in commandline). Validated that using a global install works, so problem seems to be specific to trying to run as a local tool.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install XamlStyler.Console as a local tool: https://github.com/Xavalon/XamlStyler/wiki/Script-Integration#install-as-a-local-tool dotnet tool install XamlStyler.Console
2. Try running tool as a local tool: dotnet tool run xstyler -r -d . -p -c .\settings.xamlstyler -l Debug
3. See error: Error: Must specify file(s) or directory

Note: if you install the global tool and just run xstyler -r -d . -p -c .\settings.xamlstyler -l Debug with the same line, it works fine.

Expected behavior Xstyler still able to run as a dotnet local tool.
