Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis, Version=3.11.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified....

I don't see this issue locally, but when I am running on a fresh windows container with latest 2019 installed I am running into this issue.

I tried following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/244179/microsoftcodeanalysis-problem.html and added Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Compilers and Microsoft.Net.Compilers= and I still run into this issue.

Does <PackageReference Update="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform" Version="3.6.0" /> package have anything to do with the above 2 nuget packages.

This is the docker image to build the project cdpxwin1809.azurecr.io/global/vse2019:latest
