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
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
- Don't use PowerShell to download WiX, instead just use HttpClient.
- Rehome WiX on our Azure blob storage, not only does this remove an
dependency of our build, it also fixes an issue where CodePlex 302's
from HTTPS to HTTP which HttpClient doesn't like.
- Bake version numbers into paths, to help in cases where we upgrade WiX
tool versions but the artifacts folder is not cleaned between builds.
- 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.
Ideally in the project.json for the shared host we would just list the
actual package that holds the shared host, instead of all of
NetStandard.Library, but doing some leads to compliation errors, since
publish wants to include a compile step that has a generated
AssemblyAttributes file which references types like System.String.
