Can't build 1.6.5 in VS2019

I tried:

1. Only the .NET Core SDK from the build instructions is installed.

2. Checkout 1.6.5 (cb9264828def32d2c55ec32dc0426c8a72aa793d)

3. Run .\.paket\paket.exe restore

4. Rebuild twice in Visual Studio

   I get:

5. .\build.ps1

   I get:

   MahApps.Metro\src\MahApps.Metro.sln.metaproj : error MSB4057: The target "restore" does not exist in the project.
   

I’m running VS 16.2.3.

Any ideas?

I created this branch to allow a build in VS 2019 (without .Net 4.0 target)
