.Net 8.0.10 and 8.0.11 hosting bundle doesn't install components

Question

I have downloaded and installed the .NET Core Hosting bundle for 8.0.10.

In the past when installing this bundle it will install the following components:

Microsoft .NET Runtime - version (x64)

Microsoft .NET Runtime - version (x86)

Microsoft ASP.NET Core - version - Shared Framework (x64)

Microsoft ASP.NET Core - version - Shared Framework (x86)

However the latest version, 8.0.10 and 8.011 the bundle does not install any of the above components. It just installs a single line, Microsoft .NET 8.0.10 - Windows server Hosting and nothing else.

Only Microsoft .NET 8.0.10 - Windows server Hosting is visible in the control panel and not all other components.

Also my site then complains for .net runtime and I need to install the Microsoft .NET Runtime explicitly.

This was not the case with previous hosting bundle installers.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is this by design or is something wrong with the package?

Answer 1

I believe the hosting bundle only installs the runtimes if no previous 64 bit runtime install is detected.

Answer 2

Hi @KAPIL ARORA ,

If the Hosting Bundle is installed after installing the 64-bit (x64) version of .NET Core, SDKs might appear to be missing (No .NET Core SDKs were detected). To resolve the problem, see Troubleshoot and debug ASP.NET Core projects.

Best Regards.
