Dotnet publish-iis exit with code 1. Project.json not found when using .csproj?

Question

I am migrated a NET Core 1.0 project with project.json file to Net Core 1.1 project with .csproj file. At the end of the .csproj file I have the following:

<ItemGroup>
  <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.ViewCompilation.Tools" Version="1.1.0-preview4-final" />
  <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools" Version="1.1.0-preview4-final" />
  <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet" Version="1.1.0-preview4-final" />
  <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.SecretManager.Tools" Version="1.1.0-preview4-final" />        
</ItemGroup>  

<Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />

<Target Name="Prepublish" BeforeTargets="PrepareForPublish" Condition=" '$(IsCrossTargetingBuild)' != 'true' ">
  <Exec Command="npm install" />
  <Exec Command="bower install" /> 
  <Exec Command="gulp clean" />
  <Exec Command="gulp build" />
</Target>  

<Target Name="Postpublish" AfterTargets="Publish" Condition=" '$(IsCrossTargetingBuild)' != 'true' ">    
  <Exec Command="dotnet publish-iis --publish-folder $(TargetDir) --framework $(TargetFrameworkIdentifier),Version=$(TargetFrameworkVersion)" />
</Target>

When publishing the project I get the error on dotnet publish-iis:

exited with code 1.

I tried to find the error and the only thing I found was:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\MVCProj\project.json'.

But why is it looking for the project.json file if I am using .csproj?

If you are still looking for the answer, I discovered that the publish-iis cli tools are no longer used.

You need to remove the reference to the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools package and the whoe PostpublishTarget from your .csproj file.
