Monogame Broken After Installing KNI

[TechnicalityCreations]

Since I installed KNI for the Web based functionality, building any monogame project just gives the error:

The command "dotnet tool restore" exited with code 1.

I have tried re-installing the Monogame Extension, the nuget packages and creating new projects but nothing works.

My first guess would be that KNI is unrelated with your MonoGame error. The two frameworks are unrelated and don't share any nugets or tools. You more likely updated monogame at around the same time.

• Make sure your Monogame project doesn't share a library project that you changed to kni, and you are not referencing kni libraries or importers from your monogame projects.

• You should also look at monogame's forums for the 'dotnet tool restore' error.

Here is a link to a recent error - and a fix- that sounds similar to your issue. However, to be certain about the cause, you need to look at the output panel in visual studio to get more details about the error.

Closing because it's irelevant to KNI.

The problem had to do with updating MonoGame to the latest version, and that broke something.
