Question
Thursday, February 21, 2019 9:41 PM
Trying to run a service project that references a C++ DLL project. I am able to build and debug it within the IDE but I cannot seem to be able to build and execute using "dotnet run"
"dotnet run" attempts to build the project first and initially I had to deal with it trying to reference C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props which I was able to resolve by adding the environment variable "VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets"
Now I am stuck where MSBuild is looking for the defined Windows SDK (v 10.0.17763.0).
I attempted a repair on VS 2017 which did not fix the problem.
I then checked to make sure that Windows 10 SDK was included as an option under "Desktop development with C++" as per previous discussions.
Neither change is fixing my issue.
It appears that the SDk is in installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\..
Thanks for any and all help!

Are you running this from a command prompt where you have run the vcvars batch file? I ask this because the batch file sets all of the environment variables identifying where the Windows SDK is.
So if you haven't already, after you opened the command prompt window that you use to run dotnet, go to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Edition>\Common7\Tools, find vsdevcmd.bat and run this. You could also go straight for the vcvarsall.bat file too.
You can use the -? option to get information on how to choose the platform that the command prompt will target and if needed, how to specify which Windows 10 SDK to use.
This is a signature. Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.

Yes I am trying to execute from a command prompt but I was not executing either batch to properly set the environment :( However, I am now running vsdevcmd.bat which appears to be creating the correct environment but getting the same error message:

I was looking more into this and I'm wondering if this is due to the dotnet command line not being able to properly understand Visual C++.
One thing that I would ask you to try out is try building your project using the MSBuild that is in the Visual Studio 2017 directory instead of using the dotnet command.
The documentation for dotnet states that it builds using MSBuild, but if you use just any version of MSBuild then it will not work. For example, using the version from the .NET framework directory:
C:\Users\archa\source\repos\meh>c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\msbuild

So you may just have to change your ordering to build with the Visual Studio MSBuild before you run it using dotnet.
