Unable to start process dotnet.exe

Question

I am attempting to setup a new work space and transfer all of my projects from my old computer to the new one. However, I am getting this error when I try to run IIS Expres

Answer 1

I had to do a repair installation of .net core 2.2 sdk to fix this issue. Using VS 2017.

Answer 2

The solution in my case was deleted web.config from the root of the project. I was working on an ASPnetcore project and after a week the error started. I am unsure how that web.config file got added but once I delete that their error got resolved.

Answer 3

I have this issue right after updating Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 pro, so far I found 3 potential solutions :

• Restart Visual Studio works, sometimes,

• Delete %USERPROFILE%.nuget may solve the issue,

• Uninstall, then reinstall dotnet SDK,

Answer 4

Visual Studio 2017 -> The fix for me was to choose the Project Name instead of IISExpress when debugging/running.

Answer 5

In your startup project be sure that you have selected the option Enable Anonymous Authentication

Answer 6

in my case. i choose "ProjectName" instead of "IIS Express" while running/debugging. and it works/open with a console output window and selected browser, keep console output window open while debugging. Hope this will work.
