HelloWorld Sample is broken.

[BrainSlugs83]

On a fresh machine, with .NET Core 2.1.401, following the hello world guide at: https://github.com/dotnet/corert/tree/master/samples/HelloWorld

It fails when executing the dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c release command, during the "Generating native code" step:

  Generating native code
libcpmt.lib(nothrow.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' [d:\Projects.temp\CoreRT-HelloWorld\CoreRT-HelloWorld.csproj]

This is caused by running in x86 Native Tools Command Prompt. Try running in vanilla command prompt or x64 Native Tools Command Prompt.

We have this error mentioned in https://github.com/dotnet/corert/blob/master/Documentation/how-to-build-and-run-ilcompiler-in-console-shell-prompt.md#workarounds-for-build-errors-on-windows. Maybe we need to make it more discoverable.
