See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

install dotnet sdk RC1 on Windows.

once done you can try dotnet commands but will fail with:

Expected behavior

Should just work.

Actual behavior

Found dotnet SDK, but did not find dotnet.dll at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.300-rc1-008673\dotnet.dll]

it can then be fixed by deleting the directory.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:
