Description

I have an error when building a solution by msbuild.exe
C:\Agents\agent1\_work\5\s\Tests\.paket\Paket.Restore.targets(368,15): error MSB4064: The "Readme" parameter is not supported by the "PackTask" task loaded from assembly: NuGet.Build.Tasks.Pack, Version=5.6.0.5, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 from the path: C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.302\Sdks\NuGet.Build.Tasks.Pack\Desktop\NuGet.Build.Tasks.Pack.dll. Verify that the parameter exists on the task, the <UsingTask> points to the correct assembly, and it is a settable public instance property. Paket.Restore.targets(322,5): error MSB4063: The "PackTask" task could not be initialized with its input parameters.

Repro steps
  1. My Solution has projects netstandard2.0 with GeneratePackageOnBuild and projects .netcore3.1, Framework 4.6.2.
    csproj:
<TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
<GeneratePackageOnBuild>true</GeneratePackageOnBuild>
  1. Paket version 7.2.1+8e4eb74b42fbd45f39f7afce9184c16ebb65f16c
  2. paket restore and dotnet restore
  3. restore generated Paket.Restore.targets

Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided msbuild.exe command with the listed global.json SDK versions and inspect .paket/Paket.Restore.targets around lines 322 and 368. Compare the generated PackTask inputs, especially Readme, with the loaded NuGet.Build.Tasks.Pack assembly; done means the solution builds successfully without MSB4064 or MSB4063.
