@theShiva my guess is that you installed a new CLI (1.0.1) and you are trying to open a project without global.json pinning the version of the CLI to what you need for VS2015 (preview2). So, add a global.json to the root of your repo, with

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "your_preview2_cli_version"
  }
}

Basically, VS2015 only works with CLI preview2. VS2017 needs at least CLI 1.0.0.

Hi, something like that works for me:

global.json file

{
  "projects": [ "src", "test" ],
  "sdk": {
    "version": "1.0.0-preview2-1-003177"
  }
}

My sdk directory:

You can download the sdk from this page: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/download-archives/1.1-preview2.1-download.md
