.NET Core, failed to spawn dotnet --info

Question

When I type dotnet --info in cmd the entire screen is covered in Failed to leave breadcrumb

What can cause such behavior? Searched on google but it seems like I'm the only person that has that problem. Recently, when I tried to work with Visual studio Code I installed a c# extension and opened my .cs file and I got this message

Updating C# dependencies...

Solution

I ran in to this myself.

You may have missed the bit of info in the header that pointed you to this URL. https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos

You need to install .net core.

Ive reinstalled it almost 5 times trying every possible setting

The .NET Framework and .NET Core are two competing frameworks. You don't need to install .NET Framework if you want .NET Core.

The choco installer for vscode installs .NET Framework as well, though. Not sure why that is.
