Does not work for all project types, only for .net standard and .net core

Because the tool uses dotnet pack to create the symbol packages, it does not support the kinds of project types, that need additonal MSBuild targets.

For example, you cannot debugify a project that uses MsBuild.Sdks.Extras in order to have a multi-platform nuget targeting iOS, UWP and Android.

In such cases, we need to fallback to using msbuild.exe directly.

There is a tool which ships with Visual Studio since 2017: vswhere It can easily be found by resolving an environment variable https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere

Then, it can be used to return the path to msbuild.exe The example can be found here

• [ ] in case dotnet pack fails, fallback to using msbuild.exe to create the symbol nuget packages that can then be debugified!
