'dotnet build' error after migrating dotnetcore project to 1.0.4

I've been trying to run the dotnet build command on a migrated .net core project (from 1.0.0-preview2-003131 to 1.0.4). I followed the steps for migrating the project mentioned here, and the solution builds using Visual Studio 2017. However, using the dotnet CLI command 'dotnet build' gives me the following error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.4\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2867,5): error MSB4216: Could not run the "GenerateResource" task because MSBuild could not create or connect to a task host with runtime "CLR4" and architecture "x86". Please ensure that (1) the requested runtime and/or architecture are available on the machine, and (2) that the required executable "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.4\MSBuild.exe" exists and can be run.

I have migrated a couple of other services earlier, and after sorting out a couple of package dependencies, the CLI commands worked just fine. I checked the sdk location mentioned in the error, and I couldn't find MSBuild.exe (I did find the MSBuild.dll and the MsBuild.deps file though). I need the CLI commands to work for the CI/CD setup that I have. Any help with deciphering and fixing this error is much appreciated.

System Details:

  1. Visual Studio 2017 Community
  2. dotnet --version --> 1.0.4

The migration steps I followed:

  1. Changed the sdk version in global.json
  2. Ran the dotnet migrate command
  3. Opened the solution in VS 2017 and built it. The build was successful.

Edit: I assumed that this was a dotnet core project. Apparently (even before running the dotnet migrate command), one of the projects inside this solution was already targeting .Net 4.5.2. The relevant .csproj file is below:

The original solution compiles and builds without any problems. I'm a bit new to this, but I'm a bit confused as to how a solution which has projects targeting two separate vesions of dotnet compiles (and why, on migrating, the build process fails). Should I be running the migrate commands separately? (only on .xproj projects)?
