Basic bproject create Failed to create prime the Nuget cache

Question

I am trying to get my first .Net Core solution working.

When I try to create a project in VS 2015, it fails. So back to basics.

Using these directions: MS .Net Core

I did this.

C:\dev\Tests>mkdir hwapp2
C:\dev\Tests>cd hwapp2
C:\dev\Tests\hwapp2>dotnet -v new

Created new C# project in C:\dev\Tests\hwapp2.

I am running this in a Command Prompt as an Admin. Same thing happens when I try to create a project in VS 2015. Did try with Firewall turned off by the way.

Environment is

• Windows 10 Pro (Build 14393)
• VS 2015 with Update 3 (Enterprise)
• Dot Net Core Preview 2.0.1 (latest download as of Sept 10th 2016)

Answer 1

You should install the latest .NET Core SDK and remove all previously installed versions.
