error when building. "could not find part of the path aspnet-comic-book-gallery\src\ComicBookGalley\roslyn\csc.exe

I was using VisualStudio Mac up until now to follow along in the Asp.net MVC course but finally have given up dealing with all the inconsistencies and differences in the mac version along with .net core 2.2.

I switiched to Windows and figured I could clone a fork of the courses git repo but am unfamiliar with the process of now getting the project to run succesfully on my machine. I did a nuget package manager restore which helped fix most errors. But now I am getting this one.

I'm Starting to get frustrated because I wasted a lot of time using the Mac version of visual studio and now I cant get this to work either. Visual Studio seems to have a big learning curve once getting into a more advanced levels. Soooo many issues, ssooooo much googling

Well I fixed the error. After finding that Roslyn.exe was related to another nuget package: Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform. The version that was designated in the project was 1.0.0.0. so that's what nuget downloaded when building the project. I went into the Nuget package manager and updated the version of the package to the newest version 1 release.

After that downloaded and updated, My project no longer got the error.

As far as best practices on what to do when starting in the middle of someone elses project, I still need help.

Here is more reading on what seems to be a common issue: link
