The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Core 2.1. Either target .NET Core 2.0 or lower, or use a .NET SDK that supports .NET Core 2.1

Question

have tried upgrading to the professional version of visual studio 2017 v 15.6.0 (Preview 7.0)

and installed aspnetcore-runtime-2.1.0-preview1-final-win-x64 and .net

Answer 1

Same happened to me, but then for version 2.2 of .NET Core. I installed the latest version of .NET Core 2.2 SDK, which was 2.2.202 at that time. Visual studio allowed me to create a new project for Core 2.2, but it was showing the error:

"The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Core 2.2. Either target .NET Core 2.1 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET Core 2.2."

The target framework for my project was empty and the dropdown didn't show 2.2.

After installing .NET Core SDK 2.2.103, the error was gone and the dropdown did show ".NET Core 2.2".
