After installing the latest Visual Studio Build tools(17.7.2) on our build server, some of our (older) pipelines started to fail with the following error message:
##[error]The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error
(System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> NuGet.CommandLine.CommandLineException: Error parsing solution file at D:\b\3\_work\154\s\Source\Example.sln: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

I noticed in the stack trace above that an older NuGet version was used:
NuGet Version: 4.1.0.2450
Maybe that is causing issues? I introduced an extra build task in the pipeline that uses a newer NuGet version:
Yes! That solved the problem…
