Answer 1

It's possible that .NET Core is installed but not added to the PATH variable for your operating system or user profile. Running the dotnet commands may not work. As an alternative, you can check that the .NET Core install folders exist.

It's installed to a standard folder if you didn't change it during the instillation

• dotnet executable C:\program files\dotnet\dotnet.exe

• .NET SDK C:\program files\dotnet\sdk\{version}\

• .NET Runtime C:\program files\dotnet\shared\{runtime-type}\{version}\
