How do I make Visual Studio Community 2017 know that I already have .NET Core 2.1.500 installed on my...












0















A few days ago, I update .NET Core on my machine to the latest stable version version 2.1.500.



So, now I have the following versions of .NET Core co-exist on my machine.



C:Program Filesdotnetsdk>dir /b
1.0.0
1.0.0-preview2-003131
2.1.500


However, when I create a new Console Application (.NET Core) in Visual Studio Community 2017, and go to the Property Pages for the project, I do not see an entry for the version 2.1.500 of .NET Core.



enter image description here



I am guessing Visual Studio has a separate copy of .NET Core that it privately holds? Just like it holds its own copy of MS Build? If that's the case, that is a problem because every time I update my .NET Core version, I will need to do something extra to make Visual Studio know about it?



How do I make Visual Studio know that I've got other versions?

  • Which exact version of VS 2017 are you running (E.g. it's 15.<something>, what's the something)?

    Install updates then. 15.3 was required for 2.0, 15.6 for 2.1, so far as I recall

  • For stuff to appear in that DropDown - you need to install Targeting Pack (like for Core 2.1 in your case). But I dont seem to find one on Microsoft site.
