I'm having the same problem here: Says I need to install the latest .net version. I downloaded it (the .exe, not the zip) , installed it, no love. Repaired it . . . Still nothing. Uninstalled it, restarted, Reinstalledstill no love.
I'm using GOG and not steam, but I went into the Baldur's gate GOG folder and there wasn't a folder labeled dotnetcore for me to mess with.
