Building with sdk 1.0.0 RC4 fails

Steps to reproduce

Open any solution with core projects in VS 2015. SDK dotnet-dev-win-x64.1.0.0-rc4-004771.exe and tooling DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3.exe.

Expected behavior

Solution opened and built.

Actual behavior

Getting error (message box VS 2015 Update 3):

The following error occurred attempting to run the project model server process (1.0.0-rc4-004771). Unable to start the process. No executable found matching command “dotnet-projectmodel-server”

dotnet restore print error:

error MSB4019: The imported project “C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.0-rc4-004771\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\DotNet\Microsoft.DotNet.Props” was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

xproj file has lines: <VSToolsPath Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' == ''">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)</VSToolsPath> and <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\DotNet\Microsoft.DotNet.Props" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" /> Directory C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.0-rc4-004771 exists, subdir \Microsoft doesnt.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

None of the above solutions worked for me. I had to uninstall 1.0.0-rc4-004771 and repair the other version of .net core to make it work.

So does this mean we cannot use the VS 2015 with dotnet-dev-win-x64.1.0.0-rc4-004771.exe and tooling DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3.exe ??

And have to change the global.json entry to

“sdk”: { “version”: “1.0.0-preview2-1-003177” }

??? Is that the only way possible as of now?
