Description
**Version Used**:
4.13.0-1.24517.9
**Steps to Reproduce**:
1. Create a console app and add the 'COMReference' item and packages 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis' and 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.MSBuild' (version 4.13.0-1.24517.9).
The project file will be as follows:
```
Exe
net8
disable
{F935DC20-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B}
1
0
0
tlbimp
False
False
```
2. Add this code fragment to the 'Main' method:
```
var workspace = MSBuildWorkspace.Create();
_ = workspace.OpenSolutionAsync("D:\\ProjectContainingCOMReference.sln").Result;
```
**Expected Behavior**:
Should work without errors in workspace.
**Actual Behavior**:
After executing the 'OpenSolutionAsync' method in 'workspace.Diagnostics', the following error message appears: "Msbuild failed when processing the file 'D:\MyProject.csproj' with message: The task "ResolveComReference" is not supported on the .NET Core version of MSBuild. Please use the .NET Framework version of MSBuild. See https://aka.ms/msbuild/MSB4803 for further details."
**Note**
The issue may arise because in the project from the example, Roslyn uses BuildHost for .NET Core instead of BuildHost for .NET Framework. [This file](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/main/src/Workspaces/Core/MSBuild/MSBuild/BuildHostProcessManager.cs) may help you find a solution to the issue.
