Unable to install any dotnet tool

[sandrohanea]

Describe the bug

Similar to some issues described in the comments of: #10295 which is now closed, I'm receiving NU1211 and NU1212 if I try to install any dotnet tool.

Exceptions (if any)

Started to reproduce after some update of VS 2022 preview which included update of dotnet.
I executed dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef -v diag --no-cache and here is the result:
dotnetlog-diag.log

Fairly certain this is because the Directory.Build.Props file in your C: users folder has an invalid package reference hence the nuget errors. Thanks to @baronfel for diagnosing this with me. Maybe we could handle this better though and call the nuget apis instead of what we currently do on to restore the fake tool project.

This failure mode is described here, and is part of our all-up set of fixes for the .NET 8 time frame (which is tracked here).

Thanks for the investigation, I confirm there was a Directory.Build.props file in my user folder (even though I don’t recall adding it myself). I removed the file and now any dotnet tool is installing as expected.
