M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

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.

I'm not using Core yet, so no problem?
My apologies for the previous sig block. It's been ages since I posted anything on here.

Do you announce your bugs publicly? :-D
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.
That's exactly why I said that... strange enough... the dev did it.

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".

Thanks. I was wondering.

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