Creating a new ASP solution silently closes the dialogue

Hi everyone,

I tried out Rider for ASP today for the first time. I created a new project using “New Solution” and then all the defaults (Web type, Web App template, Target framework v4.8 from Full Framework, Programming language C#). The dialogue just closed. I figured out that the folder was created, so I opened it manually (using “Open project” in Rider). Loading the project then failed since msbuild was missing (this is on Arch Linux). I installed msbuild and now everything is fine, but the experience was a bit rough. I think the dialogue should not just close, Rider should open the newly created project. Also, since there is a warning when mono is missing in the “New solution” dialogue, I think there should also be a warning when msbuild is missing.
