Hello! I am using Unreal Engine 5, but whenever I want to create a new project, I keep getting the error that says

Running D:/UNREALENGINE/UE\_5.0EA/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool/UnrealBuildTool.exe -projectfiles -project=“C:/Users/trexx/Documents/Unreal Projects/FirstThirdPersonGame/FirstThirdPersonGame.uproject” -game -rocket -progress  
It was not possible to find any compatible framework version  
The specified framework ‘Microsoft.NETCore.App’, version ‘3.1.0’ was not found.

- Check application dependencies and target a framework version installed at:  
D:\UNREALENGINE\UE\_5.0EA\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\UnrealBuildTool\

- Installing .NET Core prerequisites might help resolve this problem:  
[Install .NET on Windows - .NET | Microsoft Learn](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798306&clcid=0x409)

- The .NET Core framework and SDK can be installed from:  
[.NET Downloads (Linux, macOS, and Windows)](https://aka.ms/dotnet-download)  
\_ To run this application, you need to install a newer version of .NET Core.

- [.NET Downloads (Linux, macOS, and Windows)](https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x64&rid=win10-x64)

I have already installed [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core 3.1 from a similar post: [Can't create C++ in Unreal Engine 5](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/cant-create-c-in-unreal-engine-5/232502)

please help, I wanted to start developing a game, but this is really giving me a headache.

NOTE: This doesnt happen if i try to create a “blank” project.

You need install “.Net Core 3.1”, not “[ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net)”. You can install it under “Individual Components” section in Visual Studio Installer.
