Scaffolding Stops Working after 1.1.0 Update

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Create a new project targeting .Net Framework 4.6.2 and Individual User Accounts

PM> Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools –Pre
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.Design
Add to Tools:
"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet": "1.0.0-preview4-final",
Reverse a database:
Scaffold-DbContext "Server=ZONAR;Database=TestDb;Integrated Security=true" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -o Models

Right click in Solution Explorer Add>Controller
Select a MVC Controller with Views, and Add
Select a Model and Add 

Everything works fine, though some packages are out of date. So, update all packages.
PM> update-package

Right click in Solution Explorer Add>Controller
Select a MVC Controller with Views, and Add
Select a Model and Add

Scaffolding runs but no controller or views are created.

@m4ss1m0g @dotnetnoobie you are talking about ASP.NET Scaffolding, which is not an EF Core feature.

At first glance I believe the issue @smitpatel created (https://github.com/aspnet/Scaffolding/issues/342) already covers what you are seeing. If it doesn’t, consider creating a new issue at https://github.com/aspnet/Scaffolding/issues/.

with frameworks.

net461”: => no errors are shown, but there is NO files generated (no controller, no views)

net452”: => works, Controller and Views are generated “net462”: => works, Controller and Views are generated
