VsTsc Error Running ASP.NET Core From Visual Studio

Hi.

I have created an (empty) ASP.NET Core project in Visual Studio and tried to build and run it for the first time to see the "Hello world" display but I keep getting the following errors:

      "Error MSB4064 The "OutputLogFile" parameter is not supported by the "VsTsc" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a settable public instance property."
      "Error MSB4063 The "VsTsc" task could not be initialized with its input parameters."

Funny thing is when I switch to Visual Studio Code and run from the CLI it works perfectly.

I searched online for solutions and one of them suggested installing VS 2015 update 3 would solve the issue but the interesting thing is I already have update 3 installed!

Can anyone help with this issue.

Thanks.
