Removed the reference to the "Microsoft.Common.props.d folder" since as far as I can tell, it never actually existed? Even in the PR which added this comment, it didn't seem to apply then either.

The reason for the weird naming is given the comments itself.
Unfortunately, there is already a file named "Microsoft.Common.props" in this directory so we have to have a slightly different directory name to hold extensions.
But the actual path is $(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Imports\$(MSBuildThisFile)\ for Microsoft.Common.props.

Fixes #5190
Context
$(MSBuildAssemblyVersion)is a built-in property which returns the MSBuild Assembly version as you may expect. In various props/targets it's used to detect whether MSBuild v4 is running, and at this point that's never the case that MSBuild v4 (or any MSBuild for that matter) would be using these props/targets.My understanding is that the props/targets which ship with the .NET Framework and do ship with MSBuild v4 are distributed separately and not part of this repo.
Changes Made
Removed all conditions where the existence of
$(MSBuildAssemblyVersion)was used.
