Hi everyone, I am trying to install maui workload in version 8.0.100 - I have .NET SDK 8.0.401 installed. When executing "dotnet workload install maui --version 8.0.100" I get an error saying that Version 8.0.100 of package microsoft.net.workloads.8.0.100 was not found in the standard nuget feed. How can I explicitly install that version of the maui workload? Thank you! Thomas

Hello, Thanks for your feeback. Since Maui is a component of a dotnet workload, its content is controlled internally and is not directly exposed to developers. The idea is that you would always run the newest version of the workload. Therefore, in order to achieve more flexible version control, after .net 7, you could customize the required Maui version by changing the Nuget Package in the project file instead of rollbacking dotnet workload. You can refer to this merged PR to learn how to easily change the Maui version. Make MAUI into 1 workload and lots of NuGets instead of a full workload #11206 Best Regards, Alec Liu.

at this point you should probably upgrade to .net 9. then install .net 9 maui workload. Maui 8 support ends in May.

@AlecLiu Thank you for your answer! I am still a bit confused, this page explicitly states that you can specify which version of a workload to install:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-workload-sets

e.g. dotnet workload install aspire --version 9.0.100-preview.7.24414.1

We are setting up build agents and have explicit requirements to set up .NET SDK 8.0.401 with maui workload 8.0.100 as that is a combo which Micrsoft has referenced as tested and working and which has also been used by developers some time ago. Are you saying I can specify a maui Nuget package in that version, and other maui-ios or maui-android nugets now in a particular version so that this will reflect the workload version installed in some developer machines?

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback.

The prerequisite for specifying workloads in this way is that the version number must be later than 8.0.400. For version 8.0.100, it is not supported.

If you need to roll back to an older version of the workload, you need to downgrade using the rollback file. You can refer to this known issue.

@Yonglun Liu (Shanghai Wicresoft Co,.Ltd.) I guess it sort of resolves the issue to know that I cannot define the version before 8.0.400 - we had issues with workload version pinning in the past. I hope we can resolve this after upgrading to 8.0.400. Thank you for the clarification.
