Visual Studio 2017 .net core project bootstrapper error when adding wcf endpoint

Question

In ASP.NET Core 2.2 Class Library Project, I'm trying to update a service in Connected Services which is already added.

Problem Statement:

When I try to update/add WCF Service I face below error (snapshot is added below in the question). it appears to be some issue with bootstrapper. but error message is not that clear to understand the issue.

Example Endpoint URL: http://mywebApp.com/AppServices/ExampleService/DService.svc

What I have tried:

• End Point URL works.
• Same project is opened in VS 2010 and VS 2019 WCF End Point was added successfully.
• and in my colleagues everyone is able to add this WCF service in VS 2017 and same project.

So I came to know this, that issue in my vs 2017 settings or bootstrapper

Any help would be much appriciated

There is no WCF in .NET Core developed by Microsoft, it is available only in .NET Framework. You can use gRPC or CoreWCF
