How can I install this in a yml file? Using this task:

• task: UseDotNet@2
  displayName: 'Install .NET SDK 1.5'
  inputs:
  packageType: 'sdk'
  version: '1.5.0'
  includePreviewVersions: true
  I have tried every combination of version reference--1.5, 1.5.0, 1.5.2, 1.5.24--but they all return an error saying version cannot be found or, in the case of 1.5, that the format is incorrect

Hi, I'm sorry but it looks like you're trying to install the .NET SDK with this yml and not the Windows App SDK. To install the Windows App SDK, I'd recommend checking out the Downloads page for the installer or to download the NuGet directly using the link in the announcement above.
