Can't install "Microsoft.NETCore.DotNetAppHost"

[guidra-rev]

I'm trying to host .Net Core in native process (C++), as described in this sample https://github.com/dotnet/samples/tree/master/core/hosting/HostWithHostFxr.

When installing the "Microsoft.NETCore.DotNetAppHost" nuget package, I get this error : "Could not install package 'Microsoft.NETCore.DotNetAppHost 3.1.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'native,Version=v0.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author."

The host application is a C++ console project.
I am using Windows.
I have the .NET Core 3.1 SDK installed.

I tried both making a new project or building the one in the sample, but "nethost.h" is unresolved in both cases, and I cannot installed the nuget package.

I think i understand why it can't be done, it's a managed package, and the c++ project is native. So I guess I need to install the package in a managed project first, then somehow make "nethost.h" available to the c++ project.

Can you elaborate a bit on how you made progress with this? Im running into the same issue. are you using a dummy net5 project just to get the Microsoft.NETCore.DotNetAppHost nuget? or something else?

Yes the issue is ancient, but is displayed by Google relatively high:
The native NuGet package does not exist anymore, use vcpkg instead:
vcpgk install nethost
