Not able to run version one xUnit.net tests using console runner in xUnit.net v2
<p>In my project we are upgrading to xUnit 2. As a result, we upgraded the console runner also which is used to run tests on build server.</p>

<p>We did not upgrade the exsting test projects to use xUnit 2. They are still referring to xUnit.1.9.2.</p>

<p>As per the <a href="https://xunit.github.io/docs/running-tests-in-parallel.html" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> it should work.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The console runner in xUnit.net v2 is capable of running unit tests from both xUnit.net v1 and v2.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>However we see errors.</p>

<pre><code>xUnit.net Console Runner (32-bit .NET 4.0.30319.18444)
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'xunit.abstractions, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8d05b1bb7a6fdb6c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

<p>These are the list of files I have copied from the package folder of the xunit.runner.console.2.1.0 and kept into the build server folder. I invoke <strong>xunit.console.x86.exe</strong> in my scripts with required parameters.</p>
