"Telemetry" task was not found

Question

I am getting the following error when I create new .net core project on VS2017:

Error MSB4036 The "Telemetry" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin" directory. ConsoleApp8 C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.403\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets 106

How can I solve this issue?

Answer 1

This error looks like you were trying to use the MSBuild version of an older Visual Studio version.

Be sure to only use dotnet commands or the MSBuild version distributed with Visual Studio or other self-contained MSBuild 15 distributions (e.g. by JetBrains).
