[BUG] Problems building SkiaSharp 2.88.4 using dotnet build

[TommiGustafsson-HMP]

Description

Using Visual Studio Community 17.7.2 and Developer PowerShell.

After installing all required workloads to build SkiaSharp 2.88.4, including Tizen (using Visual Studio Tools for Tizen), I get the following error using dotnet build:

PS C:\repos\mono\SkiaSharp\source> dotnet build
MSBuild version 17.8.0-preview-23367-03+0ff2a83e9 for .NET

If I try to install tizen with dotnet, I get:

PS C:\repos\mono\SkiaSharp\source> dotnet workload install tizen
Workload ID tizen is not recognized.

dotnet workload list gives:

PS C:\repos\mono\SkiaSharp\source> dotnet workload list

Use `dotnet workload search` to find additional workloads to install.

Updates are available for the following workload(s): maui tvos. Run `dotnet workload update` to get the latest.

There's no tizen to be found there. Then, I try dotnet workload restore, and it says:

PS C:\repos\mono\SkiaSharp\source> dotnet workload restore
Installing workloads:

Removing Microsoft.Android.Ref.31.Msi.x64 ............ Failed
Warning: Workload garbage collection failed with error: Failed to remove Microsoft.Android.Ref.31.32.0.476-x64.msi. Error: 0x00000643. Fatal error during installation..

Successfully installed workload(s) android maui tvos.

What might be the problem? Is there something I can do to build SkiaSharp?

This does mean that for some reason tizen was not installed correctly. I usually use the script installer.

But, you can skip it for now by passing /pIsNetTizenSupported:false on the build.

Thanks. I somehow managed to get the tizen workload installed and dotnet build is working. However, when I try to open the solution in Visual Studio, it cannot load projects but says:

C:\repos\mono\SkiaSharp\source\SkiaSharp.Views\SkiaSharp.Views\SkiaSharp.Views.csproj : error  : The expression "[MSBuild]::NormalizePath( Condition="'' == ''"C:\sdk-manifests\, microsoft.net.sdk.macos\WorkloadManifest.json)" cannot be evaluated. Illegal characters in path.  C:\repos\mono\SkiaSharp\source\SkiaSharp.Build.props

Any idea about this one?
