Error while installing through aspnetcore-spa generator

[Krishna-teja]

I am getting an error while I am doing a fresh install through the aspnetcore-spa genrator. The missing file that it was throwing an error does not exist in the .NET Core SDK 1.0 Preview 3 build 004056 binary too https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=835127

Are you possibly using an older version of generator-aspnetcore-spa? The current version of the template emits a global.json files that fixes this. Could you try upgrading (run npm install -g generator-aspnetcore-spa before running yo aspnetcore-spa again) and see if the problem goes away?

Please let us know if that doesn't fix it.

In case you're interested in what was going wrong, the issue is (unfortunately) caused by having installed .NET Core Tools Preview 3 (or VS2017RC, which includes the Preview 3 tools), and not having a global.json file to tell dotnet which SDK version you want it to build with. It then defaults to the Preview 3 tools directory, even though it's looking for Preview 2 files which don't exist in Preview 3.

@SteveSanderson Thanks for your reply. The combination of two things fixed my issue. Needed to get the latest generator and make sure I had latest .net core 1.1 SDK installed. Noticed that I was on .net core 1.0.1. Works great now..
