[Bug] Unable to install workloads

[CalaxDev]

Description

After the recent Update of Visual Studio I am no longer able to install MAUI workloads.
I am calling the following commands:

C:\Users\me>dotnet --version
6.0.100-rc.2.21505.57

C:\Users\me>dotnet workload install maui
Workload ID maui is not recognized.

Maui-Check results in the same error, sadly

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install latest Visual Studio 2022 Preview according to the Documentation on the Microsoft Maui Instlal Page
2. Try to install maui workload

Expected Behavior

Workload Installation should work out of the box after a fresh VS 2022 install.
Maui-Check is not working either

Actual Behavior

Error resulting in "Workload maui not found"

Basic Information

• Version with issue: VS2022 Preview 6.0 - dotnet version 6.0.100-rc.2.21505.57
• Last known good version: Preview 5.0
• IDE: Visual Studio 2022 - Latest Update (Preview 6.0)

Screenshots

Does anyone face the same Problem? What am I doing wrong here?
I only updated from Preview 5.0 to 6.0 and, sadly, this broke my setup.

After a complete reinstall with the maui-check cleanup script I suddenly get a error saying it can't verify the package signature

It also tells me it can't find android-aot...

I'm really starting to doubt Maui is production ready anytime soon - I didn't get to build a single app yet ever since the previews launched...

What's going on here? What can I do to fix those problems?

You are not alone. I have abandoned all tests and wait the final Vs2022 release /.net6

double check you don't have a copy of dotnet/sdk in both Program Files and Program Files (x86) that was the issue I had that was causing these problems for me, spent a day banging my head against a wall before I discovered that.
Though good luck being able to do anything if you do get past that bit, as developing with maui doesn't seem to get any easier once you resolve the install issues.

Hey there,

I tried your suggestions, but I've even setup a brand new windows install and followed all the instructions both on here and maui-check, and am still getting the same error.

But thanks for the advice!

Remove the previous workloads using this script https://github.com/Redth/dotnet-maui-check/blob/main/Clean-Old-DotNet6-Previews.ps1 (could have a mix of old versions).

And then, install again the workloads:

dotnet workload install maui

or

dotnet workload install maui --from-rollback-file https://aka.ms/dotnet/maui/preview.10.json

Etc

Hey there - Thank you for your answer @jsuarezruiz

But this doesn't help, sadly. Still getting the same error after a reinstall, repair, fresh windows install, etc etc...

Could you share your errors?

Could you share your errors?

It's the same as the ones in my screenshots above

"Workload ID xxx is not recognized"

where as xxx can be Maui, android-aot, or whatever else I try to install

I'm having the same issue. This seems to be a dup of #3099
