Question

I am trying to build a new front end application with dotnet core but getting an error as below while to open the project.

i followed that answer but not working for me.

getting this error while trying to restore :

error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

running dotnet restore command gives below error :

error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.1\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\DotNet\Microsoft.DotNet.Props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Have you followed github.com/dotnet/cli/blob/rel/1.0.0/Documentation/… and updated your global.json to include a specific SDK version? — Ignas
Normally you should have global.json in your solution when you create a new project. Can you post a screenshot of your solution files tree? — Ignas
@Ignas I am able to resolve the issue. Actually preview 2 SDK was not installed properly. — Ravi Mittal

I got the same problem yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what I was doing wrong, but I managed to solve my error.

I used the strategy on this page here

I added a global.json file in my Solution Items and I specified all the .xproj projects of my solution.

{
    "projects": [ "src", "test" ],
    "sdk": {
        "version": "1.0.0-preview2-003121"
}

Hope it helps.
