It is possible that .NET is installed but not added to the PATH variable for your operating system or user profile. Here are standard folders for .NET installed products.
- The folder with the “dotnet.exe” executable:
- C:\Program Files\dotnet
- Folders with .NET SDKs
- C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\{version}\
- Example: C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.308\
- Folders with .NET Runtimes
