Description

I have an SDK version installed that is listed in the repo's global.json. I also have all other prerequisites installed.

When I open Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf.sln, I get the following:

> 1000 APICompat errors and when I build the solution, the native build fails with some obscure messages. Is this expected?

Research direction

Start with global.json and Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf.sln, then review the repository's documented build prerequisites and try the reported Visual Studio build. Determine whether the APICompat errors and native-build failures are expected for this solution and document the supported steps or required configuration so a clean build path is clear.
