    Something went wrong and the new SDK 2.1.401 references a version of the Microsoft.NETCore.App that is on a MyGet feed and should not be in a release. This results in programs that compiled before the upgrade to fail. You can 'fix' this with a global.json file which pins the SDK to 2.1.400 (the previous SDK version) or by uninstalling the new SDK. I've made MS aware of the issue, and they are scrambling to rectify the problem, which should not have happened and they admit they screwed up somewhere in the release process.

        but they did. natemcmaster commented 12 minutes ago It appears Visual Studio bundled the wrong build of the CLI. @livarcocc's team is working with the VS team to investigate fixes. I'm going to close this as a duplicate of dotnet/cli#9897. The recommended workaround is to uninstall 2.1.401, download the correct 2.1.401 installers from https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-core/2.1, and install those instead. This appears to fix it, but you may have to do a

        dotnet restore -f

        at the root dir of the solution.

            I had a bug with 15.8.1 and they rushed out a fix that repaired the problem there. With that one, the resource file plug-in wouldn't load so I couldn't edit resource files.

              Ah, the advantage of not having any .NET SDK installed at all.

                  In 15.8.1 they also broke support for the Italian keyboard layout (fixed in 15.8.2): you couldn't type closing curly braces for the entire month of August :-D I guess it's a good thing it happened in the month during which most of Italy is on vacation! :laugh:

                                I was thinking you were alerting us to the crappy UI. VS 15.8.2 freezes a lot and the so-called "Blue (High Contrast)" scheme should be called "Blue (No Contrast)".

                                  Thanks for the warning. One recent update killed my Intel compiler so it wouldn't run. I ended up uninstalling it. So much for updates. I guess they fired their QA department and we're the testers instead. Nice going!

                                    The Intel Fortran compiler failing with vs 15.8 is Intel's fault (they have admitted it). They did not update their Visual Studio integration for 15.8; it only works for 15.7. They say they are going to fix it "later this year".

                                        In case you were wondering how to get Intel Fortran to work under VS2017, you have to uninstall VS 15.8.2 (or .1) and then install VS 15.7.x.

                                          Ah, the advantage of not having any .NET SDK installed at all.
