Description

Upgraded from Visual Studio 2022 17.0 latest preview to Visual Studio 17.1 Preview-1, and now I am unable to build a new MAUI project, or load my old MAUI project. Images are attached. I have edited my PATH, renamed my C:\Program Files (X86)\dotnet, to underscore dotnet underscore, and it's underneath my C:\Program Files\dotnet in my PATH priorities list. I have uninstalled everything installed with the Windows APP SDK via the shell script supplied. I have completely reinstalled Visual Studio 2022 17.1 Preview-1, repaired Visual Studio, uninstalled and reinstalled the dotnet sdk's, and everything else under the sun. I still have the errors in the supplied images.

UPDATE Redth/dotnet-maui-check#105 helped me fix the issue. apparently, you have to delete c:\program files\dotnet\metadata\workloads and reinstall maui. then maui-check will pass. once you reload your project, it'll settle and all of the errors will go away

Noticed same issue and after trying couple of things including re-install of Visual Studio, I noticed root cause was below two paths in environmental variables.

C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\dotnet.exe
C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe

I removed path - C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\dotnet.exe from System Environmental variables, created new project and that was fine.
