MSB4216: Could not run the "ResolveTelerikProducts" task after upgrading to .NET SDK 9.0.307

[Ricardo]

My pipeline is currently stuck due to this, I have a simple "dotnet install" in my pipeline that used to work and since the latest .NET SDK release (SDK 9.0.307) it started to fail with the following message:

• C:\Users\?????\.nuget\packages\telerik.licensing\1.4.10\build\Telerik.Licensing.targets(8,3): error MSB4216: Could not run the "ResolveTelerikProducts" task because MSBuild could not create or connect to a task host with runtime "NET" and architecture "x64". Please ensure that (1) the requested runtime and/or architecture are available on the machine, and (2) that the required executable "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\9.0.307\MSBuild.dll" exists and can be run.

I attempted to upgrade the Telerik.Licensing package manually to latest version but it didn't fix the issue.

Same problem here, and I'm guessing it's the same as whatever is going on here: Error reporting while Creating Build throught GIT-Hub CI Process in Kendo UI for jQuery | Telerik Forums

Same problem.
error MSB4216: Could not run the "ResolveTelerikProducts" task because MSBuild could not create or connect to a task host with runtime "NET" and architecture "x64".

However, I don't get the error if I publish via VS2022.
But if I execute the following command, I get the above error.

 dotnet publish ..\UiWebBlazor\Web\Web.csproj --output Publish\UiWeb -c Debug -r linux-arm64 --self-contained false

Pinning to 9.0.306 (instead of 9.0.307 that was just released today) seems to have at least worked around the issue for now.

Add global.json with the following:

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "9.0.306"
  }
}

I have the same issue that started today.

We have the same issue for Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core. the workaround with global.json works!

[Ricardo]

Confirmed here too, pinning 9.0.306 in global.json work-around works

Hello everyone,

The issue started appearing on 11.11.2025 with the release of the new .NET SDK version 9.0.307. It has been logged in Microsoft's dotnet Github repo: SDK-9.0.307: Could not run the "ReplaceTokenInFileTask" task on Windows runners #12751

As Aaron mentioned, specifying 9.0.306 in the global.json file is the known workaround. Using .NET 10 is also an option.

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "9.0.306",
    "rollForward": "disable"
  }
}

Thanks for the workaround. When will a proper fix be released please?
