looks like your env variables incorrect or permissions are wrong on "~/.dotnet". check file:

%ls -l ~/.dotnet/9.0.201.toolpath.sentinel

Hi @Bruce (SqlWork.com) , I didn't find the .9.0.201.toolpath.sentinel in the .dotnet MacBook folder.

try

% sudo dotnet workload repair

% sudo dotnet workload update

then:

% dotnet workload list

should have maui, if not:

% sudo dotnet workload install maui
