My custom PCF control failing to publish and getting error

I have created a hello world pcf control and when trying to execute this command below:

pac pcf push --publisher-prefix XXX

then getting following error below:

Hi @shahriat , 

Not sure if I can help, but maybe it helps to disable the telemetry

pac telemetry disable 

Kind regards,

Diana

This is because the latest version of PAC takes a dependency on .NET 5 (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) - you will need to install the .NET 5 SDK and then restart the command prompt.

Thanks everyone. I had resolved it updating through VS installer.
