I've been trying to set up .NET on my Windows 10 computer. I downloaded the latest SDK and I ran the installer, and it was succesful. However, whenever I run dotnet --version in command prompt or powershell, it says it can't find any version of it. However, when I ran the command after launching it from file explorer(typing cmd at the top where the file path is), it gave me the correct version(latest). I tried adding it to the path as well, still nothing. I also tried uninstall reinstall and a repaire, nothing works. I'm trying to learn the C family and I'm starting with C#, however I can't execute my codes through visual studio code or command prompt. What should I do?
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/learn/dotnet/hello-world-tutorial/intro
Quickstart for .Net - core app.
To answer my own question, I somehow had a corrupt entry, and instead of trying to just repair it with the installer, I had to uninstall(yes I'm stupid I forgot to do this before), and reinstalled it. It now works perfectly.
So I did this again on my laptop, had a different problem though. It seems that I had multiple installations of dotnet, one a 32 bit and one 64 bit.
Ran this to check if there were multiple installed:
where dotnet
I then deleted both of them, and reinstalled and presto!
When I open my vs code program I get this message:
The .NET Core SDK cannot be located. .NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure the .NET Core SDK is installed and is on the path.
If I installed and even uninstalled the .NET core SDK and reinstalled it, there were several ways to change the external terminal to Power Shell, but no changes. Another problem I have when I click on the terminal is this message:
The terminal shell path "; C: \ Program Files \ dotnet" does not exist
If my .NET is on the same path and persists.
Please tell me how can I fix my problem?
Visual studio code : version 1.42.1(x64)
.NET core SDK : version 3.1.101(x64)
And I've tried these .NET core SDK versions:
version 3.0.100(x64) , version 2.2.207(x64)
Just simply close your VS Code app. It seems the error is produced because you are installing .NET Core SDK when your VS Code is opened.
After closing it, re-install the .NET Core SDK.
You must be able to use it now.
It worked for me.
I have the 5.0.103 [/snap/dotnet-sdk/112/sdk] installed (as shown, using snap) on KDE neon (based on Ubuntu 20.04).
In order to inform vs code where to find the .Net sdk, set a symbolic link '/usr/local/bin'(this folder is normally in your path):
sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet
After that, restart Visual Studio Code.
This worked for me.
I'm on a MAC (High Sierra), and closing VSC and reinstalling SDK did not help in my case.
VSC kept saying that SDK was "not installed or not on the path".
When I ran dotnet in the Terminal window I received "command not found" message.
I had to manually add /usr/local/share/dotnet to PATH in my ~/.bash_profile.
Correct path is displayed once SDK is installed (see picture below). I appended it to the PATH in my ~/.bash_profile, reopened Terminal, and it worked. You may have to reload VSC too.
Good luck!
DON'T DELETE ANYTHING BEFORE TRYING THIS!
To my fellow developers, I find a great and easy method!
1- Open VS Code and go to settings from the bottom left corner!
2- Type in #ext:ms-dotnettools.csharp to search dotnet tools!
3- Scroll down until you find "Omnisharp: Dotnet Path" and click Edit in settings.json link!
4- Go to the end of the file and right before } symbol type in "omnisharp.dotnetPath": "YOUR_DOTNET_LOCATION" enter your dotnet path.
note: don't forget to put a comma(,) before your line!
this will show vs code that you have a dotnet installed on your PC!
5- We are not done yet! Last but not least go back to settings and find Omnisharp: Use Modern Net Check the box and close your VS code, after reopening you will see that your VS Code detects dotnet!
Like this post if it worked out for you!!
One last thing! If your VS code detects it but still no snippets for C# you should check if you've set Omnisharp: Use Global Mono to always, if not then select always to enable it.
In my case it helped just to quit VSCode and re-open it (no need to re-install the .NET Core SDK) and the message you mentioned is gone.
Working on Mac M1. I was facing the same issue when I open the project in VSCode. This is how I resolved
Steps:
I quit my VS Code
I reinstalled dotnet SDK
I restarted my project
Initially, when I installed sdk, my VSCode was open, might be that was causing the issue.
I have the same problem，but my problem was cause by duplicate installation.
My solution as below:
1、open cmd, check the info of dotnet, I found it was a old version of 6.0.3，but I am sure I have installed a newest version of 7.0
input
dotnet --info
here is the output message
Host (useful for support):
Version: 6.0.3
Commit: c24d9a9c91
.NET SDKs installed:
No SDKs were found.
.NET runtimes installed:
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.3 [C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 6.0.3 [C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]
To install additional .NET runtimes or SDKs:
https://aka.ms/dotnet-download
2、check the path of dotnet,I found there is two different path of dotnet
where dotnet
C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\dotnet.exe
C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe
3、go to the path I found，it’s clear that "C:\Program Files\dotnet" is the correct path of dotnet
C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet
C:\Program Files\dotnet
4、edit environment variable，delete or move down the wrong path
environment variable
5、restart VScode，this error will not display anymore
it is not the way to solve this problem but you can do it to have your code run
you can open a command on that directory "; C: \ Program Files \ dotnet" then write this
dotnet run
and your code will automatically run
My issue was I was using .Net version 5 on Apple silicon, when I tried .Net 6 the problem got solved.
I have reinstalled SDK 6 via snap using https://learn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/dotnet/core/install/linux-snap.
Then, I have executed a command:
sudo ln -s /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet /usr/local/bin/dotnet
from https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/7627
quit VS code. quit attached program (unity, etc). open originally attached program. Open VS code (assets > open c# project).
For those of you who are on macOS and on M1, and after they closed VS Code and re-installed it, still don't get rid of the error. Try this:
On VS Code, click "Open folder..." and open your user folder. For example my name is Bob and here is the path of my user folder: "Macintosh HD/Users/bob".
Once the user folder is opened, on the left browser panel of VS Code, open those hidden files:
.bash_profile
.zshrc
and at the end of those files, add this:
export PATH="/usr/local/share/dotnet:$PATH"
And save those 2 files.
Basically, it allows apps trying to find .NET SDK to find it in the folder "/usr/local/share/dotnet" which is the default installation folder on macOS Ventura 13.1 (and some previous versions I don't know lol).
To be honest, only one of these two files needs this new line but I'm to lazy to figure out which one.
Restart your Mac and it should work.
my solution to this issue is:
1-you must uninstall all of the services belong to Visual Studio(not Vs Code)
2-uninstall VS Code and folder "AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code"
3-download new dotnet core SDK and install vs code
I hope it's done for you
I downloaded the Build tools for Visual Studios 2019 and that seemed to fix my issue on VS Code.
So go to this URL: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
All Downloads -> Tools for Visual Studio 2019 -> Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019
Then of course, download and run, then select "C++ Build tools" and ".NET desktop build tools" and install.
Worked for me, hopefully works for others too.
The same issue happened to me when I installed an extension. The reason was I didn't have .NET Core SDK installed. What I did to get rid of the issue was:
Close VS Code
Install .NET Core SDK
Re-install the extension (in my case)
Start VSCode from your terminal:
code pathToProject
For MacOS, Linux and Windows users alike.
From the Troubleshooting: 'The .NET Core SDK cannot be located.' errors wiki page in OmniSharp's VSCode repo:
If which dotnet produces a PATH, then the .NET SDK was able to successfully modify the PATH, but VS Code isn't picking it up. VS Code attempts to scrape the environment by launching the default shell under the covers. But this process can be fragile. You can attempt to work around this by starting VS Code from your Terminal.
You can try using homebrew
Install homebrew https://brew.sh
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Close Visual Studio Code
Run brew install --cask dotnet-sdk
If you will have error like this
Error: You have not agreed to the Xcode license. Please resolve this by running:
sudo xcodebuild -license accept
Then
Run sudo xcodebuild -license accept
Repeat brew install --cask dotnet-sdk
Basically my goal was to get dotnet commands working on terminal on VS code.
For that I spent an hour or two trying to find a solution. I came across a command "dotnet new console", and If i can execute it in the terminal of VS code I can get it to work. But it doesn't because it couldn't identify what dotnet was in the first place. The dotnet commands only worked on my base/usual cmd that comes with windows OS. So what I did was open my file in windows explorer that gives the error, open terminal in the same folder the project file is in (basically the folder that just popped up), and ran the script ("dotnet new console") without the quotes or brackets. It worked and I could use dotnet commands in the terminal of VS Code.
I have shown some arrows indicating files that weren't there before I ran the command. These files were added after running dotnet new console
Changing System Environment Variable Path from C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet to C:\Program Files\dotnet fixed the problem for me.
If you are on Mac M1, make sure the package is ARM64. You choose if you want x64 or ARM64 when you download at the page, https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet
This worked for me.
I also added the path to my .bash_profile file
You can find the .bash_profile file in your finder once you allow the showcase of hidden files.
This for future:-
hi Jeeva if you install again unity with vscode please read this
First install vscode extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csharp
If you got error like this "The .NET Core SDK cannot be located. .NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure the .NET Core SDK is installed and is on the path" then install https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-6.0.300-windows-x64-installer
If vscode shows "The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1 were not found" on output terminal then install developer pack https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net471 then try exit and open vs code if not work then restart
If you absolutely cannot get .NET Core SDK installed so that Omnisharp can find it, try unchecking the checkbox next to "Show Omnisharp Log On Error" under Settings > Extensions > C# Configuration > [] Show Omnisharp Log On Error
Click on the error that is shown on your VS Code
Get into Settings of the error
Download it and you are all set
I've been trying to run a C# project in Visual Studio and keep getting hit with the error:
'"dotnet.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
From what I've seen online, several people have managed to fix this by messing around with the SDK or with the 'path' environment variables in Window's System properties tab. The problem is, I have no idea what any of these system settings and specifications do, and I can't get a clear answer.
I can tell that VS isn't able to get dotnet working, so what ideas come to mind to fix this error?
Install the DotNet Core Runtime or SDK (I use latest version)
The SDK has all the tools needed for development (including the runtime), while the Runtime is needed for running dotnet core applications.
After installation, you will need to restart the PC yourself so that the data entered in the PATH variable are available
Runtime link
Check if you have %ProgramFiles%\dotnet\ folder in your PC, that's where the dotnet.exe file should be.
If you found none, that mean you have not installed .NET Core SDK/Runtime. As you have VS, I am assuming you are writing some code with it, you should install the SDK from here.
If you have the folder but still have the problem, go to your Environment Variable, add that folder to the end of PATH variable and restart the PC.
Setup:
Windows 7 64 bit
Visual Studio Code, version 1.30.0
Dotnet version: 2.2.101
I am at the beginning of trying to learn how to program with C# and I have hit a snag.
I am attempting to follow the tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/with-visual-studio-code
and I am not getting past the start of it.
The only wrinkle I can think of is that I have installed Visual Studio on my D: drive.
I have checked my environmental variables and I see that if I go into my system variables under the path variables I see C:\program files\dotnet.
Also if I am in the interactive terminal in Visual Studio I can go to the folder location of the dotnet.exe, type in the terminal >dotnet --version
and a dotnet version shows on my terminal.
Do I need to muck with my environment variables or move my dotnet.exe file to the D drive also to get this puppy goin?
you need to download and install .NET Core SDK
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
As the other answers mention, I needed to first install .NET.
But after install and restart, the problem persisted for me.
The final fix for me was to click the "Kill Terminal" button and then open a new one.
Apparently the terminal session can survive a restart.
it could be because, maybe you haven't installed the dotnet core yet, which seems to be required prior to installing the asp.net core spa template. To check if you have installed the .net core in your machine or not, check if this exists
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk
or just type following in command prompt
dotnet --version
or You need to install .NET SDK separately. You can download and install it from here
I hit install from the installation directory by double-clicking the download and by selecting Repair. (There were two other options Uninstall and Cancel).
After repair, I just typed dotnet --version at the cmd prompt and got the version displayed.
My environment is Windows 10 on AMD64 processor.
I have faced the same issue,
Problem statement:- I have installed dotnet core sdk in my sys, even than when I hit dotnet in command prompt I was getting ,
dotnet-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external
Solution :- I have added dotnet path to advanced system settings-> Environment variables-> user variables.
Path = "C:\Program Files\dotnet"

error solved
In Visual Studio 2017, I am building Class Library(Portable) which targets both .Net 4.6 and Windows Universal Application 10.0. While building the application, below error is thrown.
Error File 'MakePri.exe' not found. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798187 for more information.
I have done the following
- Installed Latest Windows 10 SDK
- Repaired Visual Studio 2017
- Also in the environment variables, "WindowsSdkDir" is not available
- The path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin" exists and this file also available
I have used the following post to troubleshoot this issue.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8c752e9e-85df-4fee-8026-9b54b6e46be2/vs1517-error-appx1639-missing-file-makepriexe?forum=msbuild
But still there is no luck.
I encountered same problem and after bugging me for a few days i finally managed to fix it. From build logs I saw that VS is not able to find makepri.exe file. In Microsoft.AppXPackage.Targets file variable MakePriExeFullPath is used, so I added new environment variable for my system with that name. For value, i pointed it to the makepri.exe in windows 10 SDK folder, which is on my machine in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.15063.0\x64\MakePri.exe
I had the same issue and I tried everything except reinstall Windows:
Repair VS2017
Install additional SDK
Reinstall SDK
Uninstall VS2017, install SDK, then install VS2017
Uninstall and reinstall VS2017 (in one step)
As mentioned by original poster:
WindowsSdkDir environment variable does not exist
MakePri.exe exists in the right path
Registry entries for Win10 SDK exist in WOW6432 node and point to correct folder.
After a lot of hair pulling I fired up ProcMon (SysInternals) and run a build from VS. I noticed that MSBuild was looking for SDKManifest.xml in every SDK root folder, but that file did not exist in the Win10 SDK root folder.
I copied SDKManifest.xml from another PC with the same Win10 SDK version installed that did not have the issue and it worked.
It is beyond me why after uninstalling everything and installing from scratch, SDKManifest.xml was still missing.
PS: I have many SDKs installed (7.0 through 10.0) most of which were installed with the corresponding VS version. I run VS2008 (Pro), VS2013 (Ent), VS2015 (Ent) and VS2017 (Community) side by side for different projects (some projects, especially SSIS, cannot be migrated to VS2017 without an upgrade to the database engine version). I also have WDK installed for a printer driver development, so all this may be confusing the SDK/VS installer.
Edit: I would be reluctant to alter VS *.target files or add any environment variables and point them to a hard coded path. This will almost certainly break any future SDK installation and does not allow side by side usage of multiple SDK versions
I was having this same problem.
what I solved was I copy an SDKManifest.xml file from the folder of my sdk that was installed in this path "D: \ Windows Kits \ 10"
just copy the SDKmanifest to the project root folder, and it worked normally!
