Visual Studio Build Error "csc.exe" exited with code -532462766

Question

Getting a csc.exe error with the .NET samples from the site. Running in a Windows 10 x64 environment; projects came in as Win 8 and were required to be retargeted to 8.1. Now the projects don't build. Turned on diagnostics logging to get the detail. Is there a way to get the full command line that is being invoked on build?

Description "csc.exe" exited with code -532462766. Project File C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.CSharp.CurrentVersion.targets Line 246

Answer 1

Install-Package Microsoft.Net.Compilers -Version 1.2.1 

Worked for me!

Answer 2

This error can be generated by NuGet packages when some .dll are not available.

Delete packages folder and compile. It should restore all the NuGet packages.
