 ## Enable MTP in an MSTest project
 
-It's recommended to use [MSTest SDK](./unit-testing-mstest-sdk.md) as it greatly simplifies your project configuration and updating the project, and it ensures a proper alignment of the versions of the platform (MTP) and its extensions.

-Alternatively, you can enable MSTest runner by adding the `EnableMSTestRunner` property and setting `OutputType` to `Exe` in your project file. You also need to ensure that you're using `MSTest 3.2.0` or newer. We strongly recommend you update to the latest MSTest version available.
+> [!NOTE]
+> `MSTest.Sdk` works only when your project can use `Microsoft.NET.Sdk` as its base SDK. If your project requires a different SDK, don't replace the `<Project Sdk="...">` value with `MSTest.Sdk`.
+>
+> For example, ASP.NET Core integration test projects use `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web`. `MSTest.Sdk` derives from `Microsoft.NET.Sdk`, so it doesn't import the ASP.NET Core SDK targets that `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web` provides.

+If your project uses an SDK other than `Microsoft.NET.Sdk`, keep that SDK, and configure MSTest manually. Add the `EnableMSTestRunner` property and set `OutputType` to `Exe` in your project file. Then add the MSTest references that your project requires. Ensure that you're using MSTest 3.2.0 or newer, and update to the latest MSTest version available. The following example uses `Microsoft.NET.Sdk`, but the same properties work with other project SDKs (for example, `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web`).
