this is my project reference
I cant get exactle the same thing as in the tutorial because it seems on .net 6 i can only install microsoft.extensions.hosting v 6.0.1
So why don't you migrate to .NET 7 then?
Right now you have a mismatch since
Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.WindowsServices is for .NET 7, and you're following a .NET 7 tutorial in generalwell in the tutorial it says it takes .net 6 or later
and we don't really use .net 7 yet at my job so i wanna do it in .net 6
Well try downgrading it to one for .NET 6 first
I'm guessing the main error has to do with what
Host you are currently referencing
As you can see it has access to a Host class, but this does not have the CreateApplicationBuilder method
So my guess is you imported the wrong namespaceWas this issue resolved? If so, run
/close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
