vstest: VS2017 build tools: UWP MsTest, Error: No suitable test runtime provider found for this run.

Description

Not able to run mstest (v2?) in command line for UWP, getting error “No suitable test runtime provider found for this run.”

Steps to reproduce

Created a project by selecting “UnitTest App (Universal Windows)”, selected configuration Release and x86 copied the project to Build machine, Build the project (successfully) using command (after restoring Nuget packages) “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\msbuild.exe” /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=“Release” /p:Platform=“x86” /verbosity:normal UnitTestProject2.sln"

Run the vstest console command (-Does not work-Error: No suitable test runtime provider found for this run) “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\Common7\IDE\Extensions\TestPlatform\vstest.console.exe” “D:\Jenkins\workspace\2018 - UnitTest\UnitTestApp1\AppPackages\UnitTestProject2_1.0.0.0_x86_Test\UnitTestProject2_1.0.0.0_x86.appx” /Framework:FrameworkUap10 /TestAdapterPath:“D:\Jenkins\workspace\2018 - UnitTest\UnitTestApp1\bin\x86\Release” /diag:d:\diag1.txt

Run the vstest console command (-Does not work-Error: No suitable test runtime provider found for this run) “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\Common7\IDE\Extensions\TestPlatform\vstest.console.exe” “D:\Jenkins\workspace\2018 - UnitTest\UnitTestApp1\bin\x86\Release\UnitTestProject2.build.appxrecipe” /Framework:FrameworkUap10 /TestAdapterPath:“D:\Jenkins\workspace\2018 - UnitTest\UnitTestApp1\bin\x86\Release”

Expected behavior

Run unit testcases and possibly get the coverage

Actual behavior

Error: No suitable test runtime provider found for this run

Environment

Project created using VS2017 Pro v15.7.4 Build machine with VS2017 build tools v15.7.4, Agent for VS2017 v15.7.4 .cer file imported to local machine->Trusted root certification authority
