Description
Steps to reproduce
I was using VS Studio 2015 Professional Edition Update 3 on Windows 10 Professional Everything was working fine before installing VS 2017 Edition.
Now, When I create a new Class Library or Console app, the dependencies fail to install. Here is the question more elaborated on SO .
This is the error:
