Unable to build on Devops Server.

What happened?

The Microsoft.Web.WebView2 package version 1.0.2535.41 installs and builds locally in Visual Studip 2022.
However, on our Devops Server we are seeing this :-

The Build step fails for only this package with the following error:-

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3017,5): Error MSB4181: The "ResolveComReference" task returned false but did not log an error.
MyProject.vbproj(185,5): Error : This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=322105. The missing file is ..\packages\Microsoft.Web.WebView2.1.0.2535.41\build\Microsoft.Web.WebView2.targets.
Process 'MSBuild.exe' exited with code '1'.

Thanks,

We discovered that the build folder for the Nuget package was not being copied into our Repo (gitignore rule). Please go ahead and close this issue. Thanks.
