dotnet compile issue with Microsoft.Cci.ISymUnmanagedWriter5

Hello,

I have just installed dotnet cli using installer from here: http://dotnet.github.io/getting-started/

And I can’t get it to compile HelloWorld.cs.

Here’s what I do:

Installing C++ Redist shouldn’t be necessary. The binary we are loading is distributed with dotnet cli. Perhaps there is an issue in load path and CoreCLR loads it from some other path first.

I ran into the same issue and installed: Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. It solved it.
