Q:

The term 'dotnet' is not recognized

With a great amount of frustration I have been trying to solve the following error in Visual Studio Code:
The term 'dotnet' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program.  Check the spelling of the 
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again.  
At line:1 char:7 + dotnet <<<<  --info
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (dotnet:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I have researched far and wide to no avail.  I have tried a number of other peoples' solutions and still, the error persists.  I have installed, repaired and uninstalled the necessary installation files a number of times... still the error persists! 
I am running Win7 Pro with all the updates.  VS Code 1.28.2.  NET Core SDK 2.1.403. 
I look forward to any suggestions/pointers/insights.

Is dotnet binary properly set in your PATH environment variable?
