I got these error after I uninstalled old version of SDK. For me removing SDK folder from program files solved it.

The folder in ‘C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk’ for the particular SDK version didn’t get deleted when I uninstalled SDK. I think I saw error ‘file in use’ when I was uninstalling.

It works fine after deleting the folder. For example, I deleted folder ‘C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.300’. This was folder for RC release. I think ‘dotnet’ cli looks for dotnet.dll in SDK folder.

This is still a problem. Removing 2.200-preview via Programs/Features does not remove the folder in ProgramFiles/dotnet/sdk. I had to remove the folder manually for this to work.
