Can you please clarify which projects have you downloaded?
Have you got a chance to try our ASP.NET Core demo?
Also, you can get a temporary license to enable all the features. See how to get a temporary license here.

I downloaded the code from “GitHub - groupdocs-viewer/GroupDocs.Viewer-for-.NET: GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET examples, plugins and showcase

I tried with Asp.net web Form, and getting below error -

Unfortunately, I can’t reproduce the same issue locally. Can you please zip the app you’re trying to build and share it?

Please, also make sure that you have ASP.NET and web development workload installed.
