Description

Someone ran into this in the wild so it's likely that the version of dotnet core that's used for the codegen project may not be always installed:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64104108/cant-find-net-core-when-starting-a-new-react-native-project/64183663?noredirect=1#

We should make sure whatever dependency we have is tracked by rnw-dependencies (and/or resolved by run-windows).

Research direction

Start by inspecting the codegen project and the rnw-dependencies and run-windows paths mentioned in the issue. Determine which dotnet core dependency is required and how new React Native Windows projects currently locate it. Done means the dependency is tracked or resolved during setup so the codegen project works when that version is not already installed.
