DotNet Command line errors

I am trying the "getting started" tutorial for DotNet command line at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/using-with-xplat-cli

The entire tutorial is to fire up a command prompt - I used admin mode - and run the following two DotNet commands:

  1. $ dotnet new console

  2. $ dotnet run

The first one succeeded though it took several minutes. The second failed after a very long time.

The log showed about 20 error messages that all looked similar to this:

_7.9.0.5.cs(1081,43): error CS0229: Ambiguity between 'IWOA.DllName' and 'IWOA.D llName' [C:\Windows\system32\system32.csproj] wbem\Framework\root\citrix\VdaParameters\BrokerAgent_SN_a80ce61cfbf8b47a_Version

  1. They all mention this dll: 'IWOA.DllName'
  2. They all have citrix in the folder path.

I rarely post here since I can usually find answers to my question with some online digging but this one stumps me. I was unable to find even the slightest reference on line to this problem.

So what in the world is going on here?

FYI: Visual studio version is 15.8.8 and as far as I can tell my whole environment is uo to date.

Thanks

Holy moly!

You are probably missing some important context:

  1. Don't use admin mode (or root!)

  2. dotnet works on projects, which it assumes is the entire directory that it's operating in, recursively.

The expecation is that you will create a new folder, with no existing files, and then run dotnet new console and dotnet run.

What you seem to have done is to go to an existing (system) folder, and run dotnet run on that. That actually tries to scan all of C:\Windows\system32\ and figure out how to build/run it. You can guess that this is not going to work because it's finding random code and dll's and tries to figure out how to build/run it.

So just use a new empty directory for creating new project.
