Detect if runtime is installed before download about installnetcoreruntimeandhostingtask HOT 10 CLOSED

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you know a good way to check if the .NET Core hosting bundle is installed? I've looked at dotnet --info but it only lists the SDK and runtime. Not if the hosting bundle is installed.

from installnetcoreruntimeandhostingtask.

all I have been able to find so far is this registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Updates.NET Core

from installnetcoreruntimeandhostingtask.

Try this - will return true if it finds it in the registry
(Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | % { $_.DisplayName } | Where { $_ -Match 'Microsoft ASP.NET Core Module V2' }).Count -gt 0

I've forked it at https://github.com/wagner-machine/InstallNetCoreRuntimeAndHostingTask and will take a look.

@kdblocher don't suppose this suggested improvement is able to make any progress. We love using this task but it's a bit of a blunt instrument in the every time you run a CI pipeline doing a fresh install without checking if you already have the latest version.

Hi @JonnyG365. Thanks for putting this issue on my radar again. Because you can use Microsoft Update now to update .NET Core I've decided to not add any major enhancement like this request.

@ronaldbosma it doesn't appear that Microsoft Update supports CI/CD scenarios, rather just an automatic update experience. For those who need to support arbitrary versions of .NET Core, or don't want to allow automatic updates of this kind, it's not a good solution.

@JonnyG365, as you can see, @ronaldbosma sat on this issue for a year with no response. I may try to get a forked copy working with this feature.

@kdblocher I assume you have a similar use case to us I want to be able to add this kind of task to the build pipeline and have it download/install/update if needed but do nothing if you are already running the version specified
