Description
**Visual Studio Version**:
Visual Studio 2019 RC
**Summary:**
I cannot create a minimal reproduction, because my project file is heavily modified.
The issue happens between [this project](https://github.com/amatukaze/ing/blob/master/src/Views/UWP/Sakuno.ING.Views.UWP.ApiDebug/Sakuno.ING.Views.UWP.ApiDebug.csproj) and [the dependency](https://github.com/amatukaze/ing/blob/master/src/Core/UWP/Sakuno.ING.Views.UWP.Common/Sakuno.ING.Views.UWP.Common.vbproj). Their output paths are deleted from the project files, and set by props file [here](https://github.com/amatukaze/ing/blob/master/src/UWP.props).
There is a `Directory.Build.props` file [here](https://github.com/amatukaze/ing/blob/master/src/Directory.Build.props). Perhaps this file is disturbing the tooling.
When building the first project, verbose output says dependency file `$(SolutionDir)\artifacts\TheDependency\TheDependency.dll` is not found. But its actual output position is `$(SolutionDir\artifacts\TheDependency\Debug\TheDependency.dll)`.
Further more, I want UWP projects to use new project format too.
