dotnet installed in Program Files only has sdk 6, while I need 8. Without admin rights, it's not possible to install sdk 8 in it. So I'm trying to set a custom location for the dotnet SDK.
It seems like the new location is picked up but nuget still uses the dotnet.exe from PATH (which I can't modify since it's a system env var).
Specifically this line: Found installed dotnet location "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" to load projects.
is not respecting the custom location C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\dotnet-sdk-8.0.401-win-x64\dotnet.exe
Steps To Reproduce
SDK 6 installed at default location
SDK 8 installed at a custom location
