Forcing activity to use particular .NET runtime

Help Activities

Hi all,

I have an issue whereby I cannot execute a Python scope activity. I have installed .NET 5 runtime but when the activity is started it errors (in event viewer, in studio it just hangs) because it finds .NET 6 which also exists for another application on the machine (Visual Studio).

Is there a way to specify the .NET 5 installation when running the Python scope activity?

If not I fear I will either be forced to use a start-process, thereby losing the output, or downgrading to the soon-to-be-unsupported legacy framework (which isn’t great for projects that want to use this!).

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the community

Add the environment variable path for .net 5 location and check if it resolves

Hey @TJTheBuilder

Do you maybe have a sample dummy project you could share?

For the record, the Python package is indeed stuck in .NET 5, but we are planning to upgrade it to .NET 6 in the next version (together with support for Python 3.12).

But either way - I also have both runtimes installed and it works without an issue. Thus I was wondering if the project does something specific that could maybe cause this situation:

One thing to keep in mind - please make sure it is this one that you have installed:

and not the other ones.
