Hi

I have just started reading you book and going through the programs but I have hit a problem. Every time I try to run the program I get a error message from Visual Studio 2022 "To run this application, you must install .NET Core." I have tried downloading and installing .NET Core still getting the same message. Re-installed VS 2022 same issue. The Debug message in VS is "The target process exited without raising a CoreCLR started event."
What can I do to resolved this please?

Thank you
Leon

I'm sorry to hear that! Usually everything just works when you install Visual Studio.

One thing you can try is installing Visual Studio 2019—which is actually a good way to use the book, since that's the version that was available when we wrote the 4th edition (we're working on the new edition now!). You can download VS2019 here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/

What does it print when you open a command prompt (or Terminal if you're using macOS) run this: dotnet --info
