`dotnet new -i` fails when I try to point to filesystem

[Wes]

1. Clone the repo
2. cd dotnet-template-samples/01-basic-template/MyProject.Con
3. dotnet new -i .

Fails to install the template, just gives me about a hundred lines of warnings like:

Restoring packages for /Users/user1/.templateengine/dotnetcli/v2.0.3/scratch/restore.csproj...
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/2.0.3/NuGet.targets(102,5): warning : The folder '/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/NuGetFallbackFolder/.tools' contains an invalid version. [/Users/user1/.templateengine/dotnetcli/v2.0.3/scratch/restore.csproj]

and then at the end it gives me the error:

/Users/user1/.templateengine/dotnetcli/v2.0.3/scratch/restore.csproj : error NU1101: Unable to find package .. No packages exist with this id in source(s): /usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/NuGetFallbackFolder, nuget.org

  Restore failed in 596.09 ms for /Users/user1/.templateengine/dotnetcli/v2.0.3/scratch/restore.csproj.

This repros on both Windows and macOS for me.

@sayedihashimi I opened this issue here, but it's not actually an issue with the samples, this bug really belongs in the dotnet CLI repo, just not sure where that is
