net461 version of dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator-design.exe should be built for multiple platforms instead of win7-x86

See original GitHub issue

For a net461 project with RID as win7-x64, the dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator-design.exe causes exception as MVC tries to load the 32-bit assembly in a 64-bit process:

System.BadImageFormatException occurred
  HResult=0x8007000B
  Message=Could not load file or assembly 'dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator-design' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
  Source=mscorlib

Sample project:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>win7-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <Folder Include="wwwroot\" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore" Version="2.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc" Version="2.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Xml" Version="2.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design" Version="2.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools" Version="2.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

@Eilon Is there a workaround in the meantime?

The workaround is to remove the package reference Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design (This will disable scaffolding)
