Code Coverage does not work even after adding the code coverage nuget.

Steps to reproduce

The attached project has a simple xunit test. There are two ways to repro this:

The more easier way of reproing this is : From a developer command prompt run vstest.console.exe project.json /useVsixExtensions:true /enableCodeCoverage

For the VS IDE repro you can use this:

1. Open it in VS.
2. Open Test Explorer.(Test -> Windows -> Test Explorer)
3. Build the solution to trigger discovery.
4. Right Click on the discovered test and “Analyze code coverage”

Expected behavior

A code coverage file that covers the project under test with no errors.

Actual behavior

The following error occurs: Error: Unable to start C:\Program Files\dotnet\bin\dotnet.exe

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.CodeCoverage.Shim, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. at Microsoft.DotNet.Cli.Program.Main(String[] args)

This scenario works if I manually drop the CodeCoverage.Shim dll that the nuget package contains under %ProgramFiles%/dotnet/bin.

Environment data

dotnet --version output:
