Is there an issue with the .Net 8 runtime download? I keep getting a message that i can't run this on my pc. The only option is to use winget to install.

    Can confirm the same issue. All .NET downloads result in a 0kb download file, that cannot be executed. Installing through Winget does work. These are the commands for .net 8:

    winget install Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.8

    winget install Microsoft.DotNet.AspNetCore.8

    Hi @Jos ter Doest ,

    What is your Windows version?

    Make sure you're downloading the correct version for your system architecture. The screenshot shows you're downloading the x64 version, but if your system is running a 32-bit version of Windows, you'll need the x86 installer instead.

    Best Regards.
