DotNetClientPackagemanager

Does anyone have a fix for the error DotNetClientPackageManagerNotInstalledError when trying to install the FRC tools?

I completed vscode and the wpilibj, uninstalled last years National Instruments according to the instructions, and downloaded the installer for this year’s frc tools. However, when I run it I get the message:

Everything ran fine last year. I did some online research on how to fix this, but nothing helped. I

  • disabled antivirus and turned off the firewall
  • attempted to install the NI Package manager (got the same message)
  • tried downloading from a different browser (firefox and chrome)
  • ran as system administrater
  • rebooted computer several times.

I am running windows 10 on this computer:

Any suggestions?

Folowup - this is what’s in the error log:

OK - final followup. I got the FRC tools to install by downloading the offline installer. I still don’t know why this laptop didn’t like the online installer - it worked for our other laptops and has always worked on this one before.

Thank you so much for posting this! My team has had this error for a couple weeks now and we got it installing!
