Description
Copied from https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/6287
## Details about Problem
Using VS UI/nuget.exe pack
NuGet version in VS: 4.5.0
VS version: 15.5.0
OS version: win10 v1709 (16299.98)
## Detailed repro steps so we can see the same problem
1. See the repro below. Basically try using contentFiles to control attributes like copyToOutput and have the target folder use "any" rather than a specific value
2. Pack the nuspec and install the nupkg into a .NET Framework project using PackageReference style.
3. Alternatively, use a CPS-style csproj with TargetFramwork=net471 (or similar)
Expected:
All the files listed appear in the output directory after building.
Actual:
Only the file in contentFiles\cs\net45 appears in the output directory after building.
Note that the bug does not repro when using a .NET Core project.
Note also that the bug is only for target locations such as:
contentFiles\cs\any
contentFiles\any\any
Things work correctly for targets such as:
contentFiles\cs\net45
Apologies if this is a dup, but I couldn't find this specific issue in a quick search.
