Net SDK could not be found

[CWolffIF]

Hi,

I get the error with the ModelEditor:

eXpressAppFramework.log

In the Project the first lines are
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup>

The Path of the dotnet and the installation seems to be OK.
where.exe and dotnet --info

The ME works only for the debug release so make sure u have build the project first in debug. Additionally try to delete all ME files from the roaming path.

Let me know if my suggestions did not work

[CWolffIF]

Hi,

I deleted everything, but the same error.

[apobekiaris]

do u recall anything that change in your enviroment since your last successfull run?

[CWolffIF]

Yes,
I deinstalled VS2019. After that I made a repair VS2022.

[CWolffIF]

I try to Deinstal Net.SDK from VS2022 and than reinstall. May it helps......

[apobekiaris]

have u restarted?

[CWolffIF]

Yes.
I´ve reinstalled everthing and restarted, emptied the ME Pathes and started in Debug.
Same error.

I wonder about MSBuildExtensions.cs:line 25

I cannot follow that is a native call with the Microsoft.Build.Evaluation lib and it worked b4 your sdk reinstallation. In addition also it works on my side and nobody else reported issues. Do you have specific concerns? My impression is that your system config is suffering.

Did you also tried it in a different machine? the msg is clear the SDK is not found meaning paths problem e.g.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1184941/the-sdk-microsoft-net-sdk-specified-could-not-be-f

[CWolffIF]

I tried everything from that link.
But everything seems to be OK. The SDK is found and the SDK check says

PS C:\devprojects\ixisnetjh> dotnet --list-sdks

[apobekiaris]

I understand your frustration but really looks enviromental in your side nothing I can do.

Did you also tried it in a different machine

if it works at least will know to blame your enviroment else we discuss it further

[CWolffIF]

Hi,
I´ve got the solution. I had only the SDK for .net 8. The ME needs the SDK for .net 6.
I installed SDK .net 6 and it works.

[apobekiaris]

great!

note: ME works as well for other sdk, meaning your project apparently target .net6, but when u upgrade .net ME will download different libs in different dirs in your roaming folder. This is info only no action should required from your side

[apobekiaris]

let me clarify this a bit further, so ME does not require .net6 if your project tagrets .net8, a different version will be downloaded transparent to u looking at the targetframework of each project

[CWolffIF]

Mhmm, thats crazy. Cause the whole project is set to .net8

[apobekiaris]

what is the location of the ME process? after u run it. Get it from right click the process Open File Location on the task manager

[CWolffIF]

The Background Process Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win is running in
C:\Users\CWolff\AppData\Roaming\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win

If you open the Modeleditor
Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor
C:\Users\CWolff\AppData\Roaming\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\WinDesktop\net8.0-windows10.0.22621.0\4.241.1.0

Here is a Screenshot of the System (Roaming):

The Xpand\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\4.21.1.0: is empty
The Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win: the Background Task is working
The Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor.Win\WinDesktop: the ME is in foreground working

I think my error was, that the Backgroundtask could not create the Foregroundtask. With .net6 SDK it is possible and it is created as .net8 Version (\net8.0-windows10.0.22621.0\4.241.1.0) like my Project.

[apobekiaris]

thnks I will research this case when I have time for now everything is functional and this a design time feature so is not urgent. In any case please leave the ticket open
