Answer 1

Although this question has already been answered. I recently came across the same issue. The more specific answer is that you need to install the Visual Studio 2015 Tools (Preview 2):

Because this wasn't straight forward and I was working on a 1.1 dotnet core project, I accidentally skipped this step and only installed the Windows SDK. I reported an issue here:

Answer 2

You need to install Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 tooling preview (the current one is Preview 2).

Answer 3

If you've recently installed VS 2017 and you get this error and your project was using project.json, it's probably that you have to upgrade your solution to csproj rather than the old project.json format. If you open the project in vs2017 it should upgrade it automatically. Check out this article if you need more info Project-json to csproj
