Error in v1.1.0 on .NET 4.6.1: System.Runtime not found in the GAC

[ben-reilly]

When I try to update my nuget package from v1.0.7 to v1.1.0 on .NET 4.6.1, I get the following error:

Failed to add reference. The package 'DnsClient' tried to add a framework reference to 'System.Runtime' which was not found in the GAC. This is possibly a bug in the package. Please contact the package owners for assistance.

It appears that another package, NLog, experienced the same problem, so the solution might be found here: NLog/NLog.Extensions.Logging#91

Hey @ben-reilly, thanks for letting me know.
I just double checked and I had:

  <ItemGroup Condition=" '$(TargetFramework)' == 'net45' ">
    <Reference Include="System.Runtime" />
    <Reference Include="System" />
    <Reference Include="Microsoft.CSharp" />
  </ItemGroup>

Since the beginning of time (of this library) in the project file.

For whatever reason, only the 1.1.0 version now has this in the nuspec:

    <frameworkAssemblies>
      <frameworkAssembly assemblyName="System.Xml" targetFramework=".NETFramework4.5.1" />
      <frameworkAssembly assemblyName="System.Runtime" targetFramework=".NETFramework4.5.1" />
      <frameworkAssembly assemblyName="System.Xml.Serialization" targetFramework=".NETFramework4.5.1" />
    </frameworkAssemblies>

Which seem to cause those issues...

I can reproduce it with VS2015, VS2017 doesn't have any issues. Seems to be a nuget package manager issue...

I'll try to fix it somehow.
First I'll just remove the ItemGroup as the project compiles without it. Let's see...

should be fixed in v1.1.1

That was fast! Confirmed it works in v1.1.1; thank you!
