Web projects require Visual Studio 2015 installation

[michalhosala]

Your readme.md says:

In order to build or run this tool you will need to have Microsoft Build Tools 2015 installed.

However, that is not enough for web projects. To reproduce:

Prerequisities:

• machine without VS2015 installed,
• with MS Build Tools 2015 installed,
• web project, e.g. basic template from VS2012 "ASP.NET Empty Web Application", lets call it WebProj.sln

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run CodeFormatter.exe WebProj.sln,
2. Observe exception being thrown:

Unhandled Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.InvalidProj
ectFileException: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\WebApplications\Micr
osoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the
file exists on disk. C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Projects\VbWebApplication\VbWebApplication\VbWebApplication.vbproj

Expected behavior:

• Either I would expect the VS2015 to be stated as a prerequisite of the CodeFormatter,
• Or CodeFormatter should not need file VisualStudio\v14.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets to work in this scenario,
• Or to state in your docs that you are not supporting web projects
