Failed to initialize CoreCLR hresult: 0x80004005

Question

I have created a new local project in VS Code and a new function app in Azure like described in this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/create-first-function-vs-code-csharp?pivots=programming-language-csharp&tabs=in-process

But I always get this error when I click on Start Debugging:

/Users/name/.nuget/packages/microsoft.azure.webjobs.script.extensionsmetadatagenerator/4.0.1/build/Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.ExtensionsMetadataGenerator.targets(37,5): error : Metadata generation failed. Exit code: '137' Error: 'Failed to initialize CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80004005' [/Users/name/NewAzureFunctions/NewAzureFunctions.csproj]

I have tried to deploy the new local project to Azure but it is not working:

I clicked on Deploy Anyway but then I get this message: Failed to deploy path that does not exist: /Users/name/NewAzureFunctions/bin/Release/net6.0/publish

My .csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <AzureFunctionsVersion>v4</AzureFunctionsVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions" Version="4.1.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="PlayFabAllSDK" Version="1.150.230403" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="host.json">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
    <None Update="local.settings.json">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
      <CopyToPublishDirectory>Never</CopyToPublishDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

I use Visual Studio Code Version 1.77.3 on a Mac. Why is it not working?

Answer 1

It works now. I just needed to install .NET SDK 5.0.408: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/5.0

I found the answer here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/issues/2876
