Steps to reproduce

1. Have a windows server without IIS installed
2. Install dotnet-hosting-2.2.1
3. Install IIS via windows features

Expected behavior

In .NET framework we had aspnet_regiis utility.
I would expect an utility to register aspnetcore after iis is installed

Actual behavior

In order to get the plugin, one need to :

• Install IIS via windows features
• Reinstall dotnet core

Copied from original issue: dotnet/core-setup#5199

1. Enable IIS.
2. Repair the hosting bundle.

This could work has a manual workaround, but i need a scripted solution.

@muratg can you provide me a way to script "Repair the current installed dotnet core bundle ?"
I can think about something ugly like below but i am not satisfyied

& @(Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName} |  Where-Object {  $_.DisplayName.Contains("Microsoft .NET Core 2.")})[0].BundleCachePath /repair /quiet

If you keep the hosting bundle exe, it would be easier to just run /uninstall and /repair on that. Otherwise I don't have a much better suggestion. Again, if you are scripting this, the recommendation is to enable IIS first then run the hosting bundle,

I wish i could do that, however i am building a setup that has DotnetCore 2.x as prerequisite. I dont know which version the user has installed nor if they have still kept the installer
