[severity:Other] [regression] [worked-in:probem started in 17.11.2]
After upgrading to Visual Studio 17.11.2, when creating a new WinUI project, the following error message appears:

The suggested .NET SDK build numbers are one higher than the actual .NET SDK build numbers, as seen on the .NET downloads page and in the GitHub repository for .NET.

I manually resolved the issue by uninstalling the NuGet packages that were automatically included in the new project...

Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools
10.0.22621.756
10.0.26100.1

Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK
1.6.240829007

... and replacing them with older versions...

Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools
10.0.22621.755
10.0.26100.1

Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK
1.4.230913002
1.6.240829007

Note that I had to uninstall and reinstall both packages, and I did not test all the intermediate versions.
