How to solve rzc generate exited code 1 error

Open the Project in visual studio-> check in views folder for any files having X - red color symbol then remove that file from visual studio.

Previously you deleted the files from folder - that is the issue.

ie, Razor Engine trying to render those files, but the engine could not find the physical location of that file, that is the problem. Always delete the unwanted files using the visual studio or any project editor. That is the best practice.

I solved rzc generate exited with code 1 microsoft.net.sdk.razor.codegeneration.targets by undoing the changes that deleted a project from the folder in file explorer instead of visual studio.

In your Project.csproj, you should have a piece of XML code like this:

<ItemGroup>
    <Folder Include="Controllers\" />
    <Folder Include="Views\Home\" />
    <Folder Include="Views\Shared\" />
  </ItemGroup>

It depends on your folder structure.

In case you are using Windows 7 and getting the 'rzc generate exited with code -2147450750' while debugging a .NET Core app, try installing the standalone package: Microsoft Update Catalog - KB4457144.

I had the exact same error message (apart from the directories) on Windows 7 with a newer VC++ distribution already present.

The package contains the KB2533623 that we want. Details of KB4457144: September 11, 2018—KB4457144 (Monthly Rollup)

After installation and a reboot, dotnet new console goes through without an error.

You are using visual studio 2019 older version then you have updated to the latest version has fixed my issue.

Yes. I have delete some files manually from folder. So i resolved that issue by deleting the unloaded files from that deleted folder as red cross files will be still in our visual studio if we delete them outside.
