title: VS2017 .NetCore 2.0 API - Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Abstractions
body: <p>I've just created a new API using ASP.NET Core 2.0.
  I haven't coded anything yet. I just want to test the initial API template.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to start my project I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module.
    Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Abstractions, Version=2.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'. The system cannot find the file specified.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I do not receive any errors when building the project.
  The assemby can be found at the following directory: 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\NuGetFallbackFolder\microsoft.aspnetcore.hosting.abstractions\2.0.2'. </p>
  
  <p>Is that correct? Where should the 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Abstractions' assembly be located and why can't VS find it?</p>
