Project built fine in NCrunch with VS 17.11

17.12 removed version 17763 of the Windows SDK by default but as we're still targeting it we've downloaded it from Microsoft and installed it. Visual Studio picks it up fine, but NCrunch gives the following exception. Will submit feedback in the app with the URL of this thread. Happy to provide a simple repro project if that helps.

Code:

An error occurred while analysing this project after it was built: NCrunch encountered an unexpected error occurred while building an environment to analyse an assembly: The NCrunch task process failed to correctly initialise with the following exception: nCrunch.TaskRunner.Ipc.IpcConnectionClosedException: The NCrunch task process was unexpectedly terminated.  For information on how to troubleshoot this problem, please see https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_process-terminated-unexpected-error

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

The first thing I'd suggest checking here is whether the SDK installations on your machine are exactly the same as what you are targeting.

VS has a LOT of implicit behaviour in resolving SDKs, and I've found many occasions in the past where it's quietly served up something different when things go wrong. NCrunch tends to be a bit more sensitive to issues because it feeds versions directly into the loader.

Check that the installation directories contain the files you would expect to find there. Sometimes the installers/uninstallers can quietly fail and leave behind empty directories that can mess with the resolution and give weird errors. This can cause problems even if the empty directories contain versions different to the one you are targeting.

Finally, make sure you are actually able to build and run a .NET 10.0.17763.54 x64 .EXE application on your machine directly without NCrunch or Visual Studio involved. Often taking the tools out of the mix and going directly down to the platform can help narrow the problem down faster.
