My main project is AnyCPU and so is my test project. Before I did not have the following line in my main project csproj file <PlatformTarget>AnyCPU</PlatformTarget>, once added I get following exception.
System.Exception: An exception was thrown in the remote environment: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> nCrunch.Common.UserException: Errors occurred while trying to load the project file:
Assets file 'C:\TestProject\obj\project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1/win7-x86'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'net461' in the TargetFrameworks for your project. You may also need to include 'win7-x86' in your project's RuntimeIdentifiers.

According to your documentation I can force it to use CPU architecture from AutoDetect to x86, which I've done and still same error.
Please note the test builds successfully using Resharper Test Runner as well as MSTest and NUnit Test Runner, it is just NCrunch that is complaining.
