Platform linker not found

[CliffordSimak]

Hello! I just downloaded new version of VS2017 Enterprise. And now my program based on Building a WebAPI app with CoreRT does not publish.

upd: SampleWebApi gives me the same issue

PS C:\Users\Username\source\repos\TestApp\TestApp> dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64

To fix this problem, download and install Visual Studio 2017 from http://visualstudio.com. Make sure to install the Desktop Development for C++ workload.

The program worked in the morning 🤷‍♂️

Have you checked Desktop Development for C++ when installing the VS Enterprise? Could you please open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017 (you should see a shortcut to it in your start menu) and run where link.exe in it?

Maybe you need to update Desktop Development for C++

Thanks guys, I updated Desktop Development for C++ and it works. I dont know why VS deleted myC++` libraries.
