Angular and ASP.NET Core Template fails on creation

[PanzerFowst]

This should be fixed in VS 17.8.1 and working for all versions of Angular. Are you still seeing the issue after installing the latest? /cc @PranavSenthilnathan

Bug

This issue happens again with Angular 20.0.1.

Temporary fix

Installing Angular 19 fixes this error:

npm install -g @angular/cli@v19

This issue is the result of Angular changing their naming scheme in v20. They no longer do app.component.ts or app.module.ts and instead do app.ts and app-module.ts. The template creation fails when it looks for app.component.ts when @angular/cli v20 is installed.

I wonder if adding a dropdown for what version of Angular along with what version of .NET when making a project with this template would help?

At least, it would help people realize that Angular versions matter I feel like... (I bumped into this just trying to update / build an internal tool with no experience of Angular beforehand.)
