Well, upgrading has got rid of most of the errors so moving in the right direction. I'd like to know why I need to have the most upto date version of VS to get this to build? I'm not even trying to use the ,#.NET core version so unsure why this is needed. Down to one issue now, none of my references are there in the test project. Will look at that tomorrow.
It is very frustrating though, brand new download I would imaging working.
It's 15.2. I'll see it I can upgrade. :)
OK, I've now tried on my other laptop, exact same errors. Using VS 2017 and have installed .net core 2.0 runtime and SDK as suggested (though wouldn't have thought this was necessary)
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I can't get it to work in 2015 or 2017. Will keep looking though. Cheers.
Thanks, but would I need that? I didn't download the .NET core version and was trying to open with VS 2015
In case anyone else is having the same issue it is a simple fix.
My project was in a folder called 'ASP.NET MVC 5 & jQuery'
It was the ampersand in the folder name that was causing the problem. Changed to 'ASP.NET MVC 5 and jQuery' and it worked fine.
