Forums are out of my work flow, and when I've added them to my work flow, they have consumed to much of my time. It's a personal choice not to be part of forums if I can help it.
Want to ask for me? <grin> Tracy -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Richard Kaye Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 1:58 PM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: RE: [NF] .NET Core build to runtime 3.1.5 with SDK for 3.1.6 installed - Possible? I'd try posting this into one of Rick Strahl's support forums. I know this isn't connected to WW frameworks but I bet you're going to find a lot more .Net heads there. Maybe even Rick might chime in as he's obviously got a ton of .Net experience, and I know he's blogged quite a bit over the years about handling framework version stuff. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech <profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com> On Behalf Of Tracy Pearson Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 1:11 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: [NF] .NET Core build to runtime 3.1.5 with SDK for 3.1.6 installed - Possible? My searches on the internet are fetching a bunch of build .NET Core 2.1 with .NET Core 3.0 installed. I'm in the later stages of getting a product ready for release and the test machines and build machines are still on 3.1.5. When I want to do a quick build from my system which was installed at 3.1.6, it refuses to run on the test machines. I get this: It was not possible to find any compatible framework version The framework 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.App', version '3.1.6' was not found. I tried dotnet build -f netcoreapp3.1.5 and got this: C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.302\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Target FrameworkInference.targets(127,5): error NETSDK1045: The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Core 3.1.5. Either target .NET Core 3.1 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET Core 3.1.5. [c:\work\pcservice\PcService12\PcService12.csproj] I distribute software to churches. I don't expect them to have a dedicated IT group. My concern is what happens when the SDK on the build machine moves from 3.1.5 to 3.1.6 due to an update from Microsoft. If I have already shipped the product and have it installed on multiple system, these systems will need the updated runtimes. Microsoft has supplied a PowerShell script that will download and install the latest runtime. The problem with that, is the default setting on a new Windows 10 Home machine is to not allow scripts to run. I know the installer is running as an authenticated administrator. It doesn't feel right to change that setting. That just feels like it will open a security risk on a customer machine. Then can I change it back to what it was? That thought leaves a bad feeling about the whole process. I have been using INNO Setup for years and was using it with this project. 1) I'm familiar with it 2) I ship a COM object and one-click did not support that when I researched it some years ago. So here are my questions: 1 - Is there a way to build to a lower release of the runtime? I know framework-dependent apps roll forward: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/versions/selection#framework-de pendent-apps-roll-forward 2 - Is there a different installer available that can help keep the runtimes updated with the EXE? I'm looking at needing to ship an updated runtime each time the build machine gets updated. I considered the Self-contained deployments that include the runtime. This would mean when an update to the framework shipped, we should ship a maintenance release to address the security problems in the old runtimes. I felt this was a compelling reason to allow Microsoft to update the runtimes and the app could be dependent on the installed framework. Now I have the drawback of the build machine has a newer SDK and it builds to that runtime. 3 - What have I not thought of going through all this?
