Failed to load the dll: hostfxr.dll

Question

I run any dotnet function like:

c/:>dotnet --help

And I get:

Failed to load the dll from [C:\Program Files\dotnet\host\fxr\6.0.3\hostfxr.dll]
, HRESULT: 0x80070057
The library hostfxr.dll was found, but loading it from C:\Program Files\dotnet\h
ost\fxr\6.0.3\hostfxr.dll failed
  - Installing .NET prerequisites might help resolve this problem.
