project-system: VS fails to open project targeting netcoreapp1.1

See https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/4788#issuecomment-264126559

When I manually update <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.0</TargetFramework> to <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework> in the .csproj file, Visual Studio is unable to open the project file (Error message: “Value cannot be null. Parameter name: key”)

@kurtdevocht also reports that it builds and runs fine on the command line so the issue is somewhere on the VS side.

I have the same issue with the last version of vs2017. When I updated all packages(include Microsoft.NETCore.App to 1.1.0) with netcoreapp1.0, everything goes fine. But after change netcoreapp to 1.1, the project can’t be opened by VS. When I change netcoreapp to 1.1 first, then update all packages, a “c” driver directory appears in project.
