Visual Studio 2022 installation Error

Question

Hello All,

I tried installing Visual Studio 2022 on my Windows 10 (64-bit) company computer (I currently run VS 2019) but after installation I get the error: "Couldn't install Microsoft.NetCore.HostPath". I need VS 2022 since our solution has been upgraded to .NET 6.0.

Does anyone have any solutions for this particular error ?

Thanks,

Anthony

I had same problem after install VS 2022. The cause of problem was antivirus program can't trust dotnet-host-path.ps1 script for me.

I opened my antivirups program and click trust this project button in blocked processes page.

It's fixed my problem. I hope it will be helpfull for you too.

By the way this is the full path of that script.

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\Microsoft.NetCore.HostPath,version=17.0.32002.160,language=neutral,machinearch=x64\dotnet-host-path.ps1
