The library hostpolicy.dll was not found

I have a simple .NET Core project (console app) that I\'m trying to compile and run. dotnet build succeeds, but I get the following error when I do dotnet

Answer 1

For me the issue was with the version mismatch. I had a different ".Net core SDK" version installed and a different version was specified in .json file.
