.NET Core 2.2.2 SDK not available in Visual Studio 2017

Issue Description

.NET Core 2.2 SDK doesn’t show up Visual Studio 2017 for the project template if installed separately.

This issue can be noticed for .NET Core SDK version 2.2.2xx and above.

Resolution1 (Preferred)

.NET Core 2.2.200 SDK is found to compatible with VS2019 version of IDE only and it’s not compatible or visible in VS2017 IDE

If you would like to use version 2.2.2xx and above, please install VS2019.

VS2019 installation will bring you both .NET core 2.2.2 (and above) and 3.0 (and above) resolving short term and long term issues.

Resolution 2

.NET Core 2.2 found to be compatible for VS 2017 but for series 2.2.1xx series and above only.

If you would like to still stick to VS 2017, please install .NET Core 2.2.100 > and < 2.2.200 SDK.

Please run below command and check all version installed.

dotnet –info

Now 2.2 version will be visible in VS2017

Resolution 3 (optional)

If none of the above options are feasible, continue to use .NET Core 2.1 until you get buy-in (keep trying 😉 )

Did I miss anything else in these resolution steps? Did the above steps resolve your issue?
