Size seems awfully low (564kB) compared to 2.0.5 hosting (93157kB)

Same issue here

DotNetCore.2.0.6-WindowsHosting.exe does not include the AspNetCore 2.0.6 RuntimePackageStore but the 2.0.5 ones. Install manually the 2.0.6 ones.
@leecow Please check that file.

[fabiano]

@XavierDa Had the same problem https://github.com/dotnet/core-setup/issues/3830.

Downloaded the file from my machine and was able to get the full file. Maybe some problem with the CDN.

[leecow]

We're looking into the hosting bundle issues. https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/2954#issuecomment-373025371

[leecow]

@fabiano - the bundle does not contain the 2.0.6 Runtime Package Store. We're in the process of rebuilding and testing the bundle and will update as soon as it's ready. https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/2954#issuecomment-373116879

[fabiano]

@leecow I saw the message from @Eilon. I'll wait for the fix. Thanks.

[DoCode]

@leecow What about the 2.1.0-preview1(2.1.300.8174) bits? Does this base also get an update?

[leecow]

@DoCode - 2.1.0 will be updated at the next preview release.

Get an ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE when download DotNetCore.2.0.6-WindowsHosting.exe, it it already be removed?

[daniel-white]

I'm getting this when trying to build my docker manually. I'm guessing its all related:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dotnet-hosting-2.0.6-rtm-10011 : Depends: aspnetcore-store-2.0.6-rtm-10011 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get install -y dotnet-hosting-2.0' returned a non-zero code: 100

I'll manually point my build at 2.0.5 until this is resolved.

Getting error of file not found when trying to download DotNetCore.2.0.6-WindowsHosting.exe

[preetikr]

Thanks, for your patience on this. The issue with the DotNetCore 2.0.6 Hosting bundle is now resolved and you can download the updated file from here. Please note as part of the refresh we have changed the file name from DotNetCore.2.0.6-WindowsHosting.exe to DotNetCore.2.0.6-1-WindowsHosting.exe.

[IDisposable]

Added PR to correct internal link to fixes list in the release notes https://github.com/dotnet/core/pull/1353

[fabiano]

Download and installed the latest version DotNetCore.2.0.6-1-WindowsHosting.exe without problems. Thank you all!

[benbenwilde]

We had problems running with System.Data.SqlClient version 4.4.0, getting a FileLoadException.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Data.SqlClient

Upgrading the package to 4.4.3 fixed it.

This release includes security fixes. You can read about the updates in the .NET Core release notes.

No I can't - the release notes only go up to 2.0._5_.

[dmumladze]

I'm trying to install only the hosting part for self-contained apps, and using the below command, but it installs the runtimes as well, which I do not want. Anything changed recently, how can I install only the hosting module part?

DotNetCore.2.0.6-1-WindowsHosting.exe OPT_INSTALL_LTS_REDIST=0 OPT_INSTALL_FTS_REDIST=0

[Eilon]

@joeloff - is this in your wheelhouse?

[joeloff]

@Eilon Yes.

@dmumladze The LTS/FTS options are only supported in the 1.x hosting bundle since there is no LTS/FTS designation for 2.x at this point.

We added better support in 2.1 for selecting separate items (runtime, shared framework and ANCM), but for 2.0 this is a known problem unfortunately.

The work-arounds are not that ideal:

1. You can decompile and extract ANCM from the two hosting bundle
2. You can take the 2.1 preview bundle and run it to only install ANCM. With the 2.1 bundle you can pass in OPT_NO_RUNTIME=1 OPT_NO_SHAREDFX=1 and that will only install ANCM for you.

@Eilon , @muratg we might want to look at back porting the 2.1 swithces to 2.0

[Eilon]

@joeloff - can you log an issue for that suggestion in the appropriate repo and tag me and @muratg in it.

[muratg]

@joeloff @Eilon I did (before seeing your comment)

[dmumladze]

@joeloff Unfortunately previews aren’t allowed in client’s production env as well as the runtime, so my only option is #1. Question: I can see three components installed from 2.0.* package, out of which, two are runtime x86 and x64, but can I remove them manually?

[leecow]

Closing as subsequent updates have been released.
