This looks like a dupe of https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/4248

Try the options documented here:
https://github.com/dotnet/cli/blob/rel/1.0.0/Documentation/ProjectJsonToCSProj.md

If someone comes here maybe after installing VS 2017 RC which also comes with newer toolings than preview 2, take a look here: https://github.com/dotnet/cli/blob/rel/1.0.0/Documentation/ProjectJsonToCSProj.md#how-do-i-work-with-projectjson-and-csproj-on-the-same-machine

You can setup your global.json to use preview2 tooling in old projects which are not migrated (back) to .csproj.
