When running ng build --prod --aot locally, it creates a my-app folder perfectly fine within the dist/ folder. Inside I have the expected mian,polyfills and runtime js files (with a hash value).
When running it in Azure DevOps (VSTS) it does not, only a out-tsc folder is created.

Build config:
step 1 npm install:
step 2 npm run release:
where release has the following script command within package.json:
"scripts": {
"ng": "ng",
"start": "ng serve",
"build": "ng build",
"test": "ng test",
"lint": "ng lint",
"release": "ng build --prod --aot",
"buildconfigprod": "ng build my-app --configuration production",
"runprod": "ng run my-app:build:production",
"e2e": "ng e2e"
},
So I have also tried different ways of running it, but no result so far.

Output artifacts as said only contains a dist/out-tsc folder and no dist/my-app folder.
The angular project is within an ASP.NET MVC 4.5 application, which is build after this is executed.
Also tried to install version 6.4.0 of NPM within the build definitions.
What am I doing wrong and wasting my day on?
EDIT:
I have this sequence:
I have diagnosed so far that the zip file does contain the valid files I am looking for! Hooray... So when the solution is build, it clears the dist/ file and then generates the out-tsc folder. That is not convenient. How can I keep these files in there? What is causing the .net build to clear the dist folder and generate the out-tsc files?
So I now need to find a way to keep the files in the dist folder during build. Doing it the other way around won't work because during the MVC Build I also turn it into a deploy package.
