[wix-devs] Problems building dutil and wcautil repos

[Bob Arnson]

*       DUtil assumes nuget.exe is available on the path. One isn't included in VS or .NET Core SDK.

*       DUtil's pack target fails with "Could not find a part of the path 'z:\wix\dutil\src\dutil\build'." (Log below.) There's no such file. Is it missing or should the reference be removed from dutil.nuspec?

*       Same pack problem with wcautil.


Project "z:\wix\dutil\src\dutil\dutil.vcxproj" on node 1 (PackNativeNuget target(s)).
