========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

To reproduce:

• Make a brand new Ingame Script the old MDK1 way.
• Comment out the old MDK1 bootstrapper to avoid build errors.
• Install the MDK2 PbPackager since I am using 17.9.2 and add the extra config stuff. (Tried to build here, same error)
• Manually go into the NuGet package manager and install MS.Build and MS.Build.Framework (latest version 17.9.5, in DLL it is the 15.1.0.0 version which I have checked with ILSpy but error persists anyway)
• Try to build again, got the same error. I did go into said locations inside the error but the files literally are there with the correct extension and all.

To note the first time I tried it prompted me to install .NET 8 SDK which I did afterwards.

I may be doing things wrong however I can't really tell, I will try to respond ASAP if this issue gets replied to.

Comment out the old MDK1 bootstrapper to avoid build errors. That should not be necessary, indicating that you have a preexisting problem.

[malware-dev]

Manually go into the NuGet package manager and install MS.Build and MS.Build.Framework (latest version 17.9.5, in DLL it is the 15.1.0.0 version which I have checked with ILSpy but error persists anyway) Don't do that.

MDK uses a system to find the existing msbuild on your system. MDK2 runs on .net 8. Installing .NET 8 SDK will likely have given you the appropriate msbuild.

I thought it would run just fine with whatever MSBuild you have installed... as long as it's compatible with the ingame script project

Note: solved the bootstrapper issue, that was my bad. Actual reply: Just made a fresh MDK1 Ingame script like usual, added only the MDK2 Pb Packager and touched nothing else, still have the SDK for .NET 8 and same issue. To note I am up for grabs on discord if you got time for it so that we don't explode the comment section with replies.

Had to re-install VS and re-install all of my .NET packages, worked afterwards.
