Any ideas?

Hi @danmoser , this is now a .NET 5.0 project. Try to build it using dotnet tools with .NET 5 SDK installed. e.g. dotnet build "ModelCompiler Solution.sln"

Hi @mregen , thanks for the reply. With .NET 5 SDK installed, I got the following errors

You need to restore NuGet packages.

[opcfoundation-org]

Pushed an update with the correct NuGets linked.

Thanks @opcfoundation-org . Now the command dotnet build "ModelCompiler Solution.sln" worked successfully.
