dotnet is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

We have downloaded and run DotNetCore.1.0.1-SDK.1.0.0.Preview2-003133-x64.exe. After having closed and reopened our command prompt, running dotnet gives the following output.

The term 'dotnet' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

We have tried the following:

1. Uninstall all versions of Visual Studio.
2. Uninstall all versions of .NET Core.
3. Repair C++ Redistributable 2015 x86 & x64
4. Restart the computer.
5. Then reinstall the .NET Core SDK.

This is the contents of C:/Program Files/dotnet

host   fxr sdk   1.0.0-preview2-003133 shared   Microsoft.NETCore.App swidtag   Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 - SDK 1.0.0 Preview 2-003133 (x64).swidtag 

Our PATH includes C:\Program Files\dotnet\

Answer 1

Also ensure that "C:\Program Files\dotnet" is part of the "path" system environment variable.

After uninstalling previous SDK versions, it had disappeared from mine.
