Specifying Diff-Only on VB project cause failure

If --Diff-Only is specified the Report can’t be saved because the directory Project.vbproj does not exist. It doesn’t exist because its the Project file not a directory.

This could be related to lack of examples that show how -p and -w are used or my lack of understanding what --diff-only does. Below is the command line I used that worked when I removed --Diff-Only. Without -m it can’t find MSBuild.

try-convert.exe -w "WordFinder\WordFinder.vbproj" -m "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64"

Thanks the tool worked very well and is much simpler then doing it manually.

This should do it: #93
