Built packages are in the "NuGetPackages" directory, main solution is "TestCoApp.sln".
If you launch Visual Studio 2013 from a command prompt using the "RunVS.bat" file, project link fails because Visual Studio can't find\run mt.exe. This is not an issue launching Visual Studio without the /useenv option, and it isn't an issue when CoApp-created package is not being used.
Here is the error:
1>Link:
1> Creating library D:\TestCoApp\Debug\ApplicationDLL.lib and object D:\TestCoApp\Debug\ApplicationDLL.exp
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1158: cannot run 'mt.exe'

1>Build FAILED.
Here are the contents of "RunVS.bat":
@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
if "%DEVENVDIR%" == "" (
if exist "%VS120COMNTOOLS%" (
call "%VS120COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 (
echo Unable to initialize Visual Studio 2013 build environment

The reason we want to run this way is because we want to dynamically set an environment variable that is used in our project settings. In this case we would set the environment variable prior to launching Visual Studio with the /useenv option.
