I am trying to deploy Azure Stack Hub Development Kit 2306 for some POC as instructed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/asdk/asdk-download?view=azs-2306. However I keep getting the following error when trying to run the ASDK downloader to download the CloudBuilder.vhdx file from https://aka.ms/azurestackdevkitdownloader
I checked my internet connectivity and was able to browse the internet. I even attempted to run the downloader from an Azure VM situated in a different region from my country and still got the same error. Did anyone else also observe the same error?

Thank you for helping to check. I ran the pre-requisites check powershell script and it looks fine
I also do have Dot NET framework 4.8.1 installed so I am unsure why is it not downloading the CloudBuilder.vhdx file.

I have discussed this with our product team. This is an ASDK related item, and our team have already deprecated the ASDK starting with 2311 - ASDK Release Notes - Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK) | Microsoft Learn.
They will be updating the documents and removing the ASDK mentions, but it'll take some time.
What is your use case here? I would pass on the feedback to our product team. -

Thank you for the swift reply.We are referring: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/asdk/asdk-download?view=azs-2311.
The issue here is we are unable to Extract the ASDK.
It says in step 1:
After the download completes, click Run to launch the ASDK self-extractor (AzureStackDevelopmentKit.exe).
On Clicking Run we get the following error.
Please do guide if there are other steps to perform.
Summary : Unable to Run latest AzureStackDevelopmentKit.exe downloaded from given download link : https://aka.ms/azurestackdevkitdownloader, Please find above error message.

Can you confirm if this is for operational, testing or training purpose or any other use cases?

2025-01-30T11:51:51.4366667+00:00 Hi @Prrudram-MSFT ,
I am trying POC a Azure Stack Hub with internet access so that I can download Ubuntu updates for AKS Engine Azure Stack Hub https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine-azurestack . My live system has no internet access so I need to test out if it is possible to pull updates using ASDK and transfer it to my airgapped Azure Stack Hub. -

2025-01-30T11:52:52.8233333+00:00 It would be extremely helpful to provide a link to CloudBuilder.vhdx Azure Stack Hub 2306 despite it being deprecated for us to POC this feature. Thank you.
