Debugger fails to start because project is built to 'bin\BPC\...' instead of 'bin\...'

Steps to Reproduce:

1. dotnet new console
2. run in debug mode, get error

Narrative: the issue is that when I run “dotnet new console” it’s creating an extra layer of hierarchy that the debug part is not aware of somehow. The screen shot below should illustrate this issue: the paths to the dll are different.

Thanks! This clears it all up.

If you aren’t an admin, you could open a command prompt, run set PLATFORM= to clear the environment variable, and launch VS Code from the command prompt. If you do this all the time, you could make yourself a trivial batch script to do this.
