I have a MSBuild task to build a service fabric project on TFS 2018 [On-Premises]. The solution builds fine locally using Visual Studio 2019 and MSBuild. It fails on the TFS Build Agent with the error..
Error NETSDK1045: The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Core 3.1. Either target .NET Core 2.1 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET Core 3.1.
I explicitly configured the MSBuild task to use "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\msbuild.exe"
I am using the MSBuild task with the following parameters..
/p:Deterministic=true /t:Package /p:PackageLocation=$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\applicationpackage
The TFS Build agent has both Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 installed. It also has the .Net core SDK 3.1 installed. [3.1.100 version].
For some reason the build output shows that the SDK is being picked up from "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.602". It needs to use the SDK from "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.100"
How do I force MSBuild task to use the SDK from C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.100.
I cannot add the "Nuget tools installer" task to the pipeline as our build agent does not have access to internet
NOTE: The project was building fine using MSBuild from Visual Studio 2017 build task in TFS when we were on .net core 2.2.
We had to upgrade one the projects to .net core 3.1 and VS 2019 and it broke the build in TFS.

we went with a dedicated dotnet pool with only the VS 2019 build told installed. It's working now. Looks like, if we have VS 2017 and VS 2019 on the same agent machine, it's picking up VS 2017 build tools causing VS 2019 builds to fail.
