 ## Resolution
 
-To resolve the error, try the following actions:
+Check the executable to make sure it's installed at the expected path.
 
-- Check the executable to make sure it's installed at the expected path.
-- Look at the error that came from the tool associated with the MSBuild task, if any. For example, if the tool normally generates a log file, check the logs.
-- Check the installation of the package that provides the tool. For example, if the tool is a compiler, try reinstalling the compiler or package that provides the compiler. In this context, a package might mean a NuGet package, an OS package, a Visual Studio extension, or any other installed product.
-- Confirm the executable location is on the PATH environment variable, or that any other expected environment variables are set.
-- If your installation appears correct, check with the vendor that provides the tool to report the error.
