We have some build machines that don't have Visual Studio or MSDeploy installed. The tasks fail with an error: `Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(3742,5): error : Package/Publish task Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks.IsCleanMSDeployPackageNeeded failed to load Web Deploy...

A failed design-time build is not reported to the user and can cause errors during build that are confusing

Consider updating LogErrorFromException to take into account AggregateExceptions

Last working version: ## Description This uses `ReadOnlyMemory.Slice()` instead of `string.Substring()` to reduce allocations when pattern matching. This also needs to...

Some of my tests expect files to exist after calling something. I have extension methods for this but I would love it to be built in. https://github.com/jeffkl/MSBuildProjectCreator/blob/8e0a219aa7025f8c0ade8d5e10c8e917b8b8d6b4/src/Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ProjectCreation.UnitTests/ExtensionMethods.cs#L10-L31 Calling `fileInfo.Exists.ShouldBeTrue()` isn't...
