The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Standard 2.0 error in Visual Studio 2017 update 15.3

Question

Answer 1

I just went through this trouble. In my case I had a working script

SET devenvPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
"%devenvPath%" mySolution.sln /Rebuild "DebugWithUT|AnyCpu" /Out mySolution.Build.log

Today I started getting this exact error. But now I remember installing VS2019 day before. Looks like it changed something for VS2017. I went to VS2017 Update, installed latest version/update and it fixed it back.
