dnu wrap not creating wrap folder

Question

I have a vNext project that uses dnu wrap to reference an old style class library. Everything works on 4 machines but one machine is giving me trouble. I have reinstalled from the OS up and still have the problem.

I get the error: Failed to resolve references for

C:\Projects\DataAccess\DataAccess.csproj.

I know the path is correct. I can copy it and then paste it in a file open dialog and the file opens.

I have noticed that on this one machine the wrap folder it not created in the solution root folder.

In my asp.net 5 project.json I have this line:

"scripts": {
    "prerestore": [
      "dnu wrap ../DataAccess/DataAccess.csproj"
    ]
},

My global.json has this:

"projects": [
    "wrap"
],

Update: I added the -v flag to dnu wrap for verbose logging. I get this message:

The OutputPath property is not set for project DataAccess.csproj. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid combination of Configuration and Platform for this project. Configuration='debug' Platform='MCD'. You may be seeing this message because you are trying to build a project without a solution file, and have specified a non-default Configuration or Platform that doesn't exist for this project.

This works on 4 other machines. It's just this machine that's not working.

I do have a solution file.

Looking at project properties I see the output path for the DataAccess project is set to bin\Debug. I looked in the csproj file and I see and OutputPath tag with the value bin\debug (for the debug build), and another with bin\Release (for the Release build).

Try adding a verbose flag `dnu -v wrap` – davidfowl Mar 03 '16 at 06:03 — davidfowl, Mar 03 '16 at 06:03
Done. I updated the question. – Don Chambers Mar 03 '16 at 13:48 — Don Chambers, Mar 03 '16 at 13:48
It says configuration Debug, Platform MCD. What's MCD? – davidfowl Mar 03 '16 at 19:37 — davidfowl, Mar 03 '16 at 19:37

The error message showed Platform='MCD'. This is an environment variable set by HP on that one HP laptop. None of out other machines had this and none were HP. I deleted this variable and it solved the problem.

I don't know what that variable is for and I am not sure why HP added it. Something else may break but I don't use the vendor installed tools.

I am don't know why dnu is using this variable when the other boxes don't have it.
