Before this change, when there's an error with a tool it's unclear why it's happening. Users must know to re-run with "--verbose" option to see the error text.

After this change, here's what the output looks like when there's an error:

D:\temp\m>D:\WinAppCli\artifacts\cli\win-x64\winapp.exe package .
