Describe the bug
MetadataGenerator365.exe and MetadataGenerator365.exe.config is not added to the Metadata folder when using the "new" project file structure.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new empty solution.
  2. Create new test project using the "new" project file structure.

Not Metadata folder is generated.

Expected behavior
Metadata folder is generated with MetadataGenerator365.exe and MetadataGenerator365.exe.config.

Screenshots

Environment

  • Windows 11
  • Tool version: 1.12.3

Additional context
This is not using the XrmFramework project structure due to using XrmToolkit ofr plugin registration and "metadata" generating.

When moving the MetadataGenerator365.exe and MetadataGenerator365.exe.config to the manually created Metadata folder, the tool throws this exception:

.\MetadataGenerator365.exe

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. Invalid pointer (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004003 (E_POINTER)) ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This is resolved by copying the Microsoft.* assemblies from bin/Release/net462 to the Metadata folder. It might be related, it might not or it might be me doing something wrong :|
