Docs: .NET Framework 4.7.2 sdk download page issues

Created on 13 May 2018  路  10Comments  路  Source: dotnet/docs

I am a .net Chinese developer . When I downloaded the SDK(4.7.2 dev pack) package on the official website with Chrome explorer, the page was redirected(http302) to download the language pack only, not the "really" dev pack.

download pages :
https://github.com/dotnet/docs/blob/master/docs/framework/install/guide-for-developers.md
https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/thank-you/net472-developer-pack

@preetikr @vivmishra can you check the links for the dev pack? Thanks!

@xLabel can you confirm which of the links are you clicking on? The one for the 4.7.2 dev pack on the topic (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=863261) seems to be working fine.

@mairaw Thank you for reply.

i click this link address (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=863261) will be redirect to this
download address(https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/7/7/57703C9C-1027-4533-A69D-2393314A32D1/NDP472-DevPack-CHS.exe), this dev pack is about 13.45MB, suspicious this is just a language pack? Because the installation package is too small.

when i use fiddler simulation web browser to httpget the link address (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=863261), will be redirect to this
(https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/F/E/5FE505D0-E753-4F1A-B8D6-D9E73C0C28C7/NDP472-DevPack-ENU.exe), this pack about 90+MB(ENU version).

@mairaw
here is the http request header, "Accept-Language" is a key point.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36

Thanks @xLabel. Our engineering team investigated the issue and managed to repro the problem. They're currently working on a fix. We'll let you know once the fix is in place. We appreciate for letting us know about this.

@xLabel thank you so much for reporting this problem! We've updated the article, which will now use the FwLink: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=874338. Let us know if that solves the issue you were seeing!

@mairaw : )

@mairaw hi, download link is wrong again, it has become download NDP472-DevPack-CHS.exe and NDP472-KB4054530-x86-x64-AllOS-CHS.exe.
https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/windows
.NET Framework 4.7.2 Offline Installer : Developer Pack & Runtime

@yhnbgfd I just pushed a change to https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/windows that should fix the issue for you. Can you confirm.

@rowanmiller All download links are now correct
