These nuget packages are used to deliver the CLI payload to Visual Studio
setup authoring. They are pushed (by VSO build definitions) into an internal feed consumed by
Visual Studio.
The windows installer downloads the VC redist bundles as a remote payload
from a URL. This URL owned by the VC++ team recently changed to point to
updated CRTs. This broke our windows installers. So we decided to upload
the CRTs to a URL owned by the .Net Core team and use that for chaining
the VC Redist bundle.
Moves CLI version suffix from preview1 to preview2
Sets channel for preview2 to 1.0.0-preview2, abandoning the Beta channel to the 1.0.0-preview1 release. Once @sokket's publishing cleanup work is complete we can re-converge the channels if desired.
Refactor HostVersion into its own class and use it everywhere host
artifacts are created. This includes the
- host nuget packages
- host installers (msi, pkg, deb)
Earlier the host MSI dependency key changed for every version. Therefore
the following stesp uninstalled host aggresively.
- Install a older dotnet CLI bundle (say v1)
- Install a newer dotnet CLI bundle (say v2)
- Uninstall the newer CLI bundle. This removes the host completely and
leaves the older version v1 unusable.
With this fix all the versions of the CLI in the machine will reference
count the host correctly.
Fixes - #2713
Remove code to find the previous install folder, always install into
%ProgramW6432%. Also remove the option to allow DOTNETHOME to be
overridable.
Fixes - #2743
In the MSI we used to check for any previous installation and we prevent any
installation of 'Release' version on top of 'Nightly' version and vice
versa. This is no longer needed since CLI SxS now. This is reminiscent of
pre-sharedFx CLI.
Fixes - #2467
- Make CLI SDK MSI non-upgradable. It must alwasy be installed SxS.
- The CLI bundle and SharedFx bundle are non-upgradeable.They are also
installed SxS.
- Make host\muxer upgradeable. It will be upgradeable till v1.0.0 RTM.
Post RTM will be installed SxS with v.1.0.0.
- SharedFx MSI was using the CLI MSI version. Fixing it to use the
SharedFx version.
- Do not allow bundles to uninstall. User will be able to uninstall the
individual MSIs.
- Changes to build scripts to produce Winx86 build artifacts like
zip/installer.
- Change to run Nuget-xplat in the same process as dotnet.exe instead of
spinning up a new 'corerun' process.
DOTNET_HOME is no longer required, though it is a documented override, so this change removes all unnecessary references to DOTNET_HOME from the CLI Repo.
