Service Fabric Application doesn't register and run the Actor

Question

I am developing APIs with Service Fabric into a big solution. After I created the services I needed (an Actor, a stateful and a stateless with .NET Framework) and I made a walking skeleton of the APIs. I started to test and service fabric always threw the error "Service does not exist" (I'm 100% sure that the uri was right) when was the time to call the Actor (same error with both ActorProxyFactory and ActorProxy). I wathced on Cluster Explorer and under my SF App there was only the other two service. But the ActorServiceType was registered.

So I decide to create two simple SF app with an actor and I got the same error and also I don't see them on Cluster explorer.

In no projects I touched the ServiceManifest, ApplicationManifest or whatelse.

Here the versions of the tools I use:

• Windows 11 Enterprise
• Visual Studio Enterprise v16.11.9 with .Net Framework 4.7.1
• Service Fabric Runtime 8.1.321.9590
• Serive Fabric SDK 5.1.321.9590
• Nuget Microsoft.SerivceFabric 8.1.321
• Nuget Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Actors 5.1.321 (For the nuget packages I tried everything)
• Microsoft.VisualStudio.Azure.Fabric.MSBuild 1.7.6 (also this I tried every version)

The solution of this problem found on this github issue with a step-by-step guide.
In few words if you have more than installation of Visual Studio (2019 and 2022) a service fabric package cache go in conflict.
