Question

User772232693 posted

Hello
Just installed VS2019 Community Edition 2019 on a brand new Window10 Pro. 
Can't create projects because VS can't find sln file (neither do I, for what matters)
Any ideia why?

The message i had is this: 
The following fileres were specified on the command line: 
c:\users\source\repo\ProjectFolder\SolutionName.sln

These files could not be found and will not be loaded.

It could be that the.net framework has been ruined, and I suggest you try to reinstall visual studio.

If you can't solve the problem, please let me know.

please try to use the InstallCleanup.exe tool to remove installation files and product information for all installed instances of Visual Studio.

More information about the InstallCleanup.exe tool you can refer to this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/remove-visual-studio?view=vs-2019
