Resolved this issue with following steps,

1) Make a sure installed React.Web.Mvc4 Package, it is named in NuGet manager as ReactJS.NET

2) Install the following packages from NuGet manager,

 JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8
 JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8.Native.win-x64
 JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8.Native.win-x86

3) In App_Start directory update a file ReactConfig.cs

    public static void Configure()
    {
        JsEngineSwitcher.Current.DefaultEngineName = V8JsEngine.EngineName;
        JsEngineSwitcher.Current.EngineFactories.AddV8();
    }

4) Clean, Build the solution.

First, your code seems to be ok.

You can look at the url that give you error 500 on the browser. localhost/.../.jsx

you may have something like this

If you looks at https://reactjs.net/getting-started/aspnet.html

On your project you must have reactconfig.cs

you need to configurare as in the picture

that's it.

I only configured as follows: JsEngineSwitcher.Current.DefaultEngineName = V8JsEngine.EngineName; JsEngineSwitcher.Current.EngineFactories.AddV8(); I did not add the .AddScript("~/Scripts/bla/bla") and the MVC Razor view finds and renders the jsx file. – Armando Servin Mar 03 '21 at 02:01

Try to transpile your .jsx files to .js with babel or web compiler (install from VS extensions) and reference those from the view. Also, remove the second react lib:

<script src="~/Scripts/react/react.min.js"></script>

Resolved by adding this to ConfigureServices in Startup.cs:

services.AddJsEngineSwitcher(options => 
     {
           options.DefaultEngineName = V8JsEngine.EngineName;
           options.EngineFactories.AddV8();
     }
);
