[LiveLogger] Garbled output in cmd.exe
See original GitHub issueIssue Description
LiveLogger does not work in cmd.exe.
Steps to Reproduce
dotnet build /ll in cmd.exe.
Expected Behavior
Either LiveLogger errors out or MSBuild falls back to regular console logging.
Actual Behavior
My first attempt to use LiveLogger resulted in this:
Analysis
If this console is not fancy-capable then the logger should not be allowed to run. Note that you still get this kind of console when running the VS Developer prompt as administrator so this would be a blocker for enabling LL by default.

I would have expected the livelogger to not be enabled in this case

So that’s likely the first thing to chase.
Oh, that makes sense too 👍 I did a check real quick and verified that
cmdinside Windows Terminal does render correctly (which I hoped since Windows Terminal was doing the rendering portion).
