An error occurred attempting to determine the process id of the DNX process host

Answer 1

When upgrading from beta7 -> beta8 I had this issue and the suggestions provided by Ben M and Domysee worked for me. However, one of my colleagues was still having problems running our project which targets dnxcore50 only. If you make sure you have run the following commands:

dnvm install 1.0.0-beta8 -r coreclr
dnvm install 1.0.0-beta8 -r coreclr -arch x86

It was the second command in particular that fixed it on his machine. You can also double-check this folder has a dnx.exe in it:

%userprofile%\.dnx\runtimes\dnx-coreclr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta8\bin
