Can't open UE5 demo - "The required library hostfxr.dll could not be found"

This also worked for me- was having issues zipping a project from UE5. This worked for me.

Thanks! That fixed it!

Dude, you’re amazing. This worked <3

Yes, this worked for me. Thank you sir.

Basically installed UE5, started a new blank project in c++, got that error. I just can’t believe they did not try to install the engine and open a project. Seems like a relatively easy thing to spot and fix in order to prevent a fatal error on something as trivial as starting your first project…

This fixed mine, thanks

Had to install the console .NET Core 3.1 Runtime for console apps (got it from here: Download .NET Core 3.1 Runtime). Note that that is NOT what’s suggested by the error message - there it suggests the .NET SDK, which only resulted in a different error for me.

It works now, but I’m really not happy with how this went
