The Sdk 39;microsoft.net.sdk 39; Specified Could Not Be Found Visual Studio 2022

I encountered this error after playing around with .Net Core 2.0 installation and seemingly messing it up. I would get this same error for dotnet restore, dotnet build or dotnet msbuild. Essentially, anything involving .Net Core and msbuild.
and specify the correct version which exists in the C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk folder. The VS installer uninstalled the previous version of .NET Core 3.0.100 and installed new one 3.1.100 so I had to change it from:
the sdk 39;microsoft.net.sdk 39; specified could not be found visual studio 2022
I started getting this error after installing Visual Studio 2022 in Windows 10, when I opened up my solution. The solution contains a mix of .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET Standard 2.0 projects, and the error was on the .NET Standard 2.0 projects. I had previously Visual Studio 2019 and 2019 Build Tools installed.
I got this issue in Mac OS and while using docker container and Azure this occurs because docker bash overrides MSBuildSDKsPath so don't change any code just quit and restart your IDE (visual studio Mac) and run it again
I tried almost all in this thread without success. I was able to fix the issue by changing the PATH environment variable. I had "C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet" and after "C:\Program Files\dotnet". The solution was to put "C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet" after "C:\Program Files\dotnet". Solved!
Maybe you encountered the error after installing .NET core SDK 3.0. You have to check the environment variable MSBuildSDKsPath after every install of a new SDK. It must target the SDK you use to create your project. I use VS2017 with Windows 10.
I had this same issue, and it turned out the resolution for me was none of the above for me.I was running the VS preview version with an older version of VS. I removed the Preview VS and then had to remove each of the environment variables by hand (i.e ANDRIOD_HOME, and .Net Maui vars, etc) and was back in business. Hope this helps someone out there who has installed VS Preview only to break the dev build environment.
I ran into this issue after installing .NET 7 to work with gRPC. After uninstalling .NET 7 the IDE was still looking for it. I deleted the empty C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7 folder. I closed an opened the project it found the lastest .NET 6 installation.
My Resolution:Utilize MSBuildLocatorThe issue stems from the way MSBuild interacts with .NET Core SDK-style projects. In .NET Core, unlike the traditional .NET Framework, MSBuild requires additional setup to correctly locate and use the SDK and its associated properties.
The key to resolving this issue is to use the MSBuildLocator package. This package dynamically discovers and loads the MSBuild assemblies from the .NET Core SDK, ensuring that all necessary components are correctly referenced.Register MSBuildLocator Before Any MSBuild Reference:
It's crucial to call MSBuildLocator.RegisterDefaults() before making any calls to MSBuild APIs. This registration must be the first operation in your application concerning MSBuild.Handling NuGet References:
When referencing Microsoft.Build and Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core in your project, it's important to set the attribute ExcludeAssets="runtime" in your .csproj file. This prevents a runtime conflict since MSBuildLocator will provide the necessary assemblies at runtime.
In my case I was trying to add a reference to some projects of the prism library solution, prism. Forms and prism.dryloc.forms. I was also getting the error mentioned in this thread. After searching for a solution, I came across this page:
I had VS 2019 Professional, VS 2022 Professional and VS 2022 Community versions. I uninstalled VS 2022 Professional and .NET Standard projects builds started to fail, but only when I built them from the console. The error was "The SDK 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk' specified could not be found." From VS 2022 the build succeeded.
In my case this error was caused by a nearly empty SDK directory under %ProgramFiles%\dotnet\sdk. It was left there after I installed and uninstalled a later SDK version and deleting it manually fixed the issue.
Since Visual Studio 2022 updated from version 17.4 to 17.5, I couldn't load my project. and get the error "The SDK 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk' specified could not be found." But if the project was opened in version 17.4, the project was loaded successfully.
I have been facing the same problem for the past 3 months now !!! Ive tried everything! It just shows an empty solution explorer but when I manually add files to explorer it complains about non-exiting SDK file which makes no sense because its included in installation.
ive tried all but it doesnt fix the same problem I still don't see my project when I created one, I have tried uninstalling and resetting the vsc but it still not showing my project when I created one.
@Tianyu Sun-MSFT you saved my life :). After VS2022 update I was facing this issue and after doing "Confirm if both C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ paths exist. If both of them exist, please leave C:\Program Files\dotnet\ before C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\. You can select C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and click Move Up button to move it up." This step and the machine restart it's looking good. Thank you once again.
in the environment variables there is 2 set of path variable one for user and one for system you should check both of them. my issue was solved by the system variables the program file one was after the x86 one. thank you @Tianyu Sun-MSFT
@Tianyu Sun-MSFT This Worked. I went a full round of uninstalling and reinstalling SDK's and it turned out the paths were not in my Environment Variables. Thank You - you saved me another 2 hours.
Given that there's always one shared host that moves forward, it will either pick the x86 or the x64 version on your machine. This issue of not picking the right one might happen if you install multiple/different versions.
If it's not, edit the Path system's environment variable to have the location you want showing up higher. Doing that should fix the issue of the SDK versions you installed not showing up when you run dotnet --info.
The order of the SDK paths were incorrect. Reinstalling just threw the path to the bottom of the system environment path variable. Possibly due to Microsoft Studio Code being installed first onto the computer?
This change solved the same problem I was having. I am on a 64 bits machine, so I moved the 64 bits installation (in C:\Program Files\dotnet) to an upper position than the x86 version. It was also required to restart VS after this change. Good luck for all with the same problem.
Changing the order didn't work for me, they still appeared at the same order when running where.exe dotnet. What worked for me is going into C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ and manually deleting dotnet.exe
HI Akshay,I had the problem with I upgraded from VS 17.4 to 17.8. After spending almost half-day, I read your solution of moving the "DotNET" path and this worked like a charm. Thank you very much for your post which solved the issue.
My experience has been the same. Instead of getting run, I see attach in VS. I created a project, but it says Microsoft SDK not found, and the projects were showing 0. I tried changing the environment variables but nothing worked, tried installing Microsoft sdk, didn't work. However, I found that one solution worked for me.
Now go back, select program files (x86) > dotnet (check if you have a sdk folder here). If you don't find SDK folder here, Copy the complete SDK folder from Program file's dotnet and paste it in Program files (x86)'s dotnet folder.Then launch VS and create a new project. It worked for me. Hope this helps.
This article describes why you get the error "The SDK 'Microsoft.Net.Sdk.Web' specified could not be found" when creating a new project in Visual Studio 2017 15.3, which prevents the project from loading, and how to fix it.
Update: Shortly after publishing this post, I noticed a tweet from Patrik who was getting a similar error, but for a different situation. He had installed the VS 2017 15.3 update, and could no longer open ASP.NET Core 1.1 projects!
As I'm sure anyone who's reading this is aware, Microsoft released the final version of .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core 2.0, and ASP.NET Core 2.0 yesterday. These brings a huge number of changes, perhaps most importantly being the massive increase in API surface brought by .NET STandard 2.0, which will make porting applications to .NET Core much easier.
As part of the release, Microsoft also released Visual Studio 2017 update 3. This also has a bunch of features, but most importantly in supports .NET Core 2.0. Before this point, if you wanted to play with the .NET Core 2.0 bits you had to install the preview version of Visual Studio.
That's no longer as scary as it once was, with VS new lightweight installer and side by side installers. But I've been burned one to many times, and just didn't feel like risking having to pave my machine, so I decided to hold off the preview version. That didn't stop me playing with the preview bits of course, OmniSharp means developing in VS Code and with the CLI is almost as good, and JetBrains Rider went RTM a couple of weeks ago.
Opened up the Visual Studio Installer program - This should force VS to check for updates, instead of waiting for it to notice that an update was available. It still took a little while (10 mins) for 15.3 to become available, but I clicked the update button as soon as it was available
The File > New Project experience is pretty much the same in ASP.NET Core 2.0, but there are some additional templates available after you choose ASP.NET Core Web Application. If you switch the framework version to ASP.NET Core 2.0, you'll see some new templates appear, including SPA templates for Angular and React.js:
Note that the templates have been renamed a little. The Web Application template creates a new project using Razor pages, while the Web Application (Model-View-Controller) template creates a template using separate controllers.
