Cannot find .NET SDK installation from PATH enviroment.

[Cherryco75]

i am using Visual Studio code as an IDE and tring to code in C# i have installed the C#, C# Dev kit and .NET install tool extention for VSc and have installed different types of .NET SDK, so i dont think the problem lies there. i get several error messages from VSc:

1:
No installed .NET SDK was found on the computer. If it is installed, make sure it can be found through the PATH environment variable. C# Dev Kit does not work without a supported version of SDK. After installing the SDK, you need restart the VS Code session, or the computer.

2:
Cannot find .NET SDK installation from PATH environment. C# DevKit extension would not work without a proper installation of the .NET SDK accessible through PATH environment. Rebooting might be necessary in some cases. Check the PATH environment logged in the C# DevKit logging window. In some cases, it could be affected how VS code was started.

3:
The .NET Core SDK cannot be located: Error running dotnet --info: Error: Command failed: dotnet --info The command “dotnet” is either misspelled or could not be found. The command “dotnet” is either misspelled or could not be found. . NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure the .NET Core SDK is installed and is on the path.

(3rd is translated using google so might not be 100% correct)

i dont unterstand where the problem lies, what can i do to make it work?

If you run dotnet --info on a terminal, where does it point to? Do you have a .NET 8 SDK installed? If so, from within a terminal, you can set the envrionment variable DOTNET_ROOT= to the path that your .NET installation is in on the PATH environment variable, then launch vscode from that terminal, and it should work. If that doesn't work, please let me know.

This is a complicated area and involves several pieces. We are working to fix this issue so that this workaround is not required and have an API released to try to fix it, but it still needs to be adopted by C# DevKit.
