I'm following this tutorial to run a Azure Streaming Analytics Job with the VS Code Plugin. As the prerequisite section states, I have installed the latest .Net version (which is 9.0) from the official site.

I can create an ASA project, add inputs, and set up the job, but when I try to run the query, I get the following error:

[2025/03/13 06:48:06 PM] [Error] No valid .NET Core version found, please install .NET Core 3.1 or .NET 6.0 from 

I tried installing the specific versions, but the Official Site doesn't list those anymore. I'm trying this on a MacBook Pro (Intel).

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

• The error indicates that the plugin specifically requires .NET Core 3.1 or .NET 6.0, which are no longer available for direct download from the official .NET site. Here are some steps to resolve this: Install .NET Core 3.1 or .NET 6.0 via Archives: - While these versions are no longer listed on the main .NET download page, you can find them in the Microsoft .NET Core archive or 6.0 archive. Download the appropriate version for macOS (Intel). – Sampath Commented Mar 14 at 5:47
• Set the Correct .NET Version: - After installation, ensure that your system uses the correct version by running: bash dotnet --version If it doesn't show the required version, you may need to update your PATH or use a version manager like asdf or brew. – Sampath Commented Mar 14 at 5:48

The error means the plugin needs .NET Core 3.1 or .NET 6.0, but these versions are no longer available on the main .NET download page.

• You can still get .NET Core 3.1 from this archive or download .NET 6.0 from this archive.

• Pick the version that matches your system (e.g., macOS Intel).

After installing, run this command in your terminal to check the .NET Version:

dotnet --version

If the version is not correct, update the PATH settings or use tools like asdf or brew to manage different .NET versions.

Check that the system uses the correct version by running: bash dotnet --version If it doesn't show the required version, you may need to update the PATH or use a version manager like asdf or brew.
