Thanks for the report,

Is there any reason why are you using an offline version? Did you try with normal full version?

I'm watching problem with incorrect msbuild instance in your environment. Thus, can you first show the result for the following command via hMSBuild:

hMSBuild -debug -only-path

And via vswhere.exe

vswhere -requires Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -products *
vswhere -requires Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -products * -latest

[abnud1]

@3F I used the offline version because the Online version for some reason shows these two strange messages:

[6:07:18 PM.6325] [Debug] Get data: https://3f.github.io/DllExport/data/pkgrel
[6:07:19 PM.0276] [Debug] Rcv failed: Request aborted, failed to create safe SSL/TLS context.

But probably those messages aren't related.
hMSBuild -debug -only-path output:

same output for vswhere -requires Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -products * -latest command.

[3F]

But probably those messages aren't related.

The first message is related to another issue, thanks for the information!

vswhere -requires Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -products *

Since vswhere indicates the same result, I think the problem is related rather to the installation API but not to DllExport.

MSBUILD version is 16

Can you describe more about installation way (part of what is) and actual paths to the actual tools? What full version of the instance?

Also, can you try with -all flag that will find all instances even if they are incomplete, i.e.:

vswhere -requires Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -products * -prerelease -all

If still nothing, please report here about results using vswhere command above: https://github.com/microsoft/vswhere/issues

Can you describe more about installation way (part of what is) and actual paths to the actual tools? What full version of the instance?

MSBuild is included with dotnet core SDK 3.1 which comes with visual studio 2019 currently installed on my device, visual studio 2019 currently is pending an update.

Also, can you try with -all flag that will find all instances even if they are incomplete, i.e.:

I forget to mention the dotnet core SDK path: C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.102
at this path MSBuild.dll exists, not exe but that's the MSBuild Rider uses

[3F]

Well, this is it:

isComplete: 0

I'm not really sure about incomplete stage for the products. And I am not ready to support it today.

But anyone else can open PR to consider some additional support with surely tested environment where only incomplete products.

@abnud1

You need to complete the installation for today and please make sure you have installed MSBuild component in addition to mentioned .NET Core 3.1 SDK:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installershell.exe

• Edit - Individual components - Compilers, build tools, and runtimes - MSBuild

I close the issue due to irrelevant problem for the current project. Feel free to continue for some related purposes.

[3F]

I forgot to say, an additional MSBuild component above is required only when you're trying .NET Core based projects and/or modern SDK style.

At least today. Who follows me also should know about future planned changes in this area. Hope for this.
