Download nop 4.2 source and upgrade script corrupt, Project will not start

Hi there,
I am trying to upgrade to nopcommerce 4.2 but it turned out, that the files at the main page
are corrupt.
So I turned to github and downloaded it from there.
Now it was possible to have the project started, but then, got another error.
This time in Visual Studio. It just refuses to compile with error error NETSDK1045.
The current .NET SDK does not support  .NET Core 2.2 as a target

I am getting a bit frustrated now

What version of Visual Studio are you using ?
I am using Visual Studio Community 2019 V16.1.5
Also make sure you have the lastest version of .NETCore

You need to install SDK for ASP.NET Core 2.2. :)

Thank you that worked.

Yes I use VS2019

Still can not start it, because I get another error.... about fetching
and wrong sysntax in the vicinity of "Offset"

I configured the database and it just does not connect ....

I have found out that my winrar was the one that did not unpack the files so the files themselves are not corrupt. I just had to reinstall rar

I found also the error with the database,.... the version I was using was beyond old (SQL Server 2008). I moved to SQL Server 2016 version and everything runs smooth.....
