ProjectScaffold is broken

[halcwb]

Description

When trying to use ProjectScaffold as it is intended, an out of the box solution to quickly get you up and running with F#, the experience is very frustrating.

Repro steps

Please provide the steps required to reproduce the problem

1. Download ProjectScaffold

2. Make a new project directory

3. Copy the content of ProjectScaffold in the project directory

4. Remove the .git folder and the paket.lock file. The last one is necessary otherwise the build fails immediately, see issue: Initial build.sh fails on OSX #346.

5. Run .paket/paket.exe install

6. Run ./build.sh

7. Enter all the requested details

Expected behavior

The project builds.

Actual behavior

The build fails with:

C:\Development\lab\test-scaffold\init.fsx (121,18)-(121,50): Warning FS0052: The value has been copied to ensure the original is not mutated by this operation or because the copy is implicit when returning a struct from a member and another member is then accessed
C:\Development\lab\test-scaffold\init.fsx (123,22)-(123,54): Warning FS0052: The value has been copied to ensure the original is not mutated by this operation or because the copy is implicit when returning a struct from a member and another member is then accessed
C:\Development\lab\test-scaffold\init.fsx (264,56)-(264,94): Warning FS0052: The value has been copied to ensure the original is not mutated by this operation or because the copy is implicit when returning a struct from a member and another member is then accessed
Warning: Paket resolved a FSharp.Core with version '4.6.0.0', but fake runs with a version of '4.5.0.0'. This is not supported.
Please either lock the version via 'nuget FSharp.Core ' or upgrade fake.
Read fsprojects/FAKE#2001 for details.
Hint: Could not find a version in your paket.dependencies file, consider adding 'version 5.193.0' at the top of your dependencies file (C:\Development\lab\test-scaffold\paket.dependencies).
Read fsprojects/FAKE#2193 for details.

Known workarounds

Spent several hours to solve this, setting to a specific framework, pinning the FSharp.Core version, etc.. No result.
