What operating system are you running? Also, could you provide your OmniSharp Log? You can retrieve this by select View->Output from the VS Code menu and then choosing "OmniSharp Log" from the top-right corner of the Output pane.

Could you try dnf installing msbuild and see if that addresses the problem?

[martinellison]

Thanks, the msbuild people have fixed their issue, so now I have been able to re-install msbuild and that has fixed OmniSharp. So please close the issue as fixed. Regards, Martin
