.NET 8 SDK project references .NET7 SDK dependencies. How to correct?

On my work machine, I created a brand-new project .net 8 sdk project. A simple console app. Immediately I get the following error.

.NET 8 SDK VER: 8.0.302

The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET 8.0.  Either target .NET 7.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 8.0.

I was poking around the dependencies and noticed that the dependencies are pointing back to .NET 7

As a first step, on my home machine, I just created a brand new .NET 8 (8.0.300) project, same type, simple console app... It does not suffer from the same error. In fact it contains more dependencies that are correct. References .NET 8

I've poked around various settings but not seeing anything that would cause this.

Also I have scoured the internet trying to find other people who have seen this issue and have not come across anyone else.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Solution

  • Make sure you have at least Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.8 You might already have .NET 8 SDKs - commands dotnet --list-sdks
