POSH Pro Tools: Merge-Script fails to build

[SnowDogDad]

Hi,
I'm trying to package script in to an EXE. I'm using Merge-Script, but it is saying "failed to build." I have now tried this on two different Windows 2016 servers. One had Visual Studio 2017 on it. Both had the .NET Framework SDK 4.7.2 and the .NET Core 2.1 SDK installed. When I try to even merge a simple "hello world" script, it fails to build. Below is the output. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jim

An update. I should have tried this before posting. I had the .NET Framework SDK 4.7.2. I installed the 4.6.2 version and that resolved the issue.

@SnowDogDad thanks this resolved my pain as well ;) for what ever reason though its not picking up anything I dot source or call with $PSScriptRoot variable, the exe when created, loads fine but I have to stick all the dependency modules and files into the exe output folder , not sure why nor do I see any errors in the verbose when creating the exe.

@SnowDogDad Thank you! This resolved my issue!
I would like to clarify for any others that encounter this issue, there is a difference between the version of .net that is installed as part of windows and the SDK. @SnowDogDad did specify the SDK in his response, but I overlooked and headed down a path of trying to downgrade .net. When that wasnt working, I reread his response and realized all I had to do was install the 4.6.2 SDK. It installs right along side the current .net version without issue.
