Dotnet path can't be found (win 10)

hello not directly relevant to vvvv however I though this is a good place to start from, I tried to install vvvv via gamma launcher on a quite old machine with win 10 (Home edition).

Both installation (launcher and afterwards vvvv went well).

But, starting vvvv console returns this error (it is pretty straight forward), my questio is more about win 10 support, potential antivirus quarantine or exception and certainly if this is something that it is worth to fix (go manually and add all the needed paths).

Additionally I installed the latest LTS Net SDK (10) but nothing changed regarding the system variables.

InvalidOperationException: “Path to dotnet executable is not set. The probed variables are: DOTNET_ROOT, DOTNET_HOST_PATH, DOTNET_MSBUILD_SDK_RESOLVER_CLI_DIR and PATH. Make sure, that at least one of the listed variables points to the existing dotnet executable.”

This is happens on machines where dotnet sdk x86 was installed.

Powershell:

where.exe dotnet
dotnet --info

If it points to x86 it’s a problem, the regular cure is to uninstall manually all dotnets, reboot and install latest x64 one…
