.Net Core Command Line app | Process.Start () works on some machines, but not on others

Question

Background

I am writing a .NET Core command line application as a CLI for my build system. This part of the build system includes creating a NuGet package from the class library. I use ProcessStartInfo.csand Process.csto call nuget.exeto call the pack command ( nuget.exelocation is on the system PATH).

• NOTE. I can’t use dotnet CLI for packaging because the class library is not a .NET Core project, so please don’t say, “Why don’t you just use it dotnet pack.
