No instances of MSBuild could be detected

System: Windows Tiny11

After installing and installing .Net v8 and open my editor I see this error:

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: ...m Files/Neovim/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/client.lua:588: RPC[Error] code_name = InternalError, message = "System.InvalidOperationException: No instances of MSBuild could be detected.\13\

changing the dotnet version of the solution to the installed dotnet-sdk seems to fix this

[Arrow-x]

in every c# project there is a <project_name>.csproj xml file there is a tag like so ```xml <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework> ``` since you have an updated dotnet-sdk, just change that 8 to 9 on every project dotnet sdk is backward compatible so this shouldn't be happening though

I'm also hitting this on Windows 10 with Neovim v0.10.3.

The output of my "dotnet --list-sdks" command:
9.0.102 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

And in my .csproj file I have the Target Framework set to "net9.0".

I figured out the fix, at least for my issue, it turns out you need to have .NET 8.0 installed, having .NET 9.0 is not sufficient. After installing .NET 8.0, the LSP correctly starts up for me.
