c# - VS Code CSC : error CS1617: Invalid option '7.3' for /langversion

Question

I downloaded VS 2017 15.7, .NET Core 2.1.2 and Blazor to try it out. It wasn't working in VS 2017 properly and thought I would try through the dotnet cli and VS Code. Instead I was met with the following error:

CSC : error CS1617: Invalid option '7.3' for /langversion.

In VS, it will run the application show "Loading..." and then nothing. Not sure if the two issues are related

dotnet --info returns the following:
