Problem installing SDK 3.0.100-preview7-012821

[enricoreich]

Hello,

I tried to install .Net Core SDK 3.0.100-preview7-012821 but the Windows installer completes after 3 seconds without any error and none of the packages are installed at C:\Program Files\.dotnet.
If I restart the installer dotnet-sdk-3.0.100-preview7-012821-win-x64.exe the dialog gives me options to repair or uninstall. If I click uninstall it completes immediately. If I click repair, the process starts to copy the payload but almost at the end I get this message:

after I've confirmed OK 4 times, I get this message:

Log: Microsoft_.NET_Core_SDK_3.0.100_-preview7(x64)_20190811062155.log

Steps I tried:

• checked Windows App & Features to make sure no .Net Core SDK is listed
• deleted C:\Program Files\dotnet if existing
• deleted .dotnet folder at my Windows profile
• deleted .templateengine folder from my Windows profile.
• deleted all files in AppData\Local\Temp
• reboot system
• download SDK again
• cried out for help!
• write this issue

Note: .Net Core SDK dotnet-sdk-2.2.401-win-x64.exe setup runs without any problems!

Steps to reproduce

1. download .Net Core SDK 3.0.100-preview7-012821 for Window 64Bit from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.0
2. run the installer

Expected behavior

Setup should run normal installation process and do its intended thing!

Actual behavior

Setup completes after 3 seconds, nothing is installed.

Environment data

OS: Windows 10 Education 1903 (18326.267)

@johnbeisner can you please take a look?

@enricoreich I would not recommend deleting files from Program Files manually, but we will look at the logs and come up with a recommendation on how to address this.

The repair action is failing for one MSI: AspNetCoreSharedFramework-x64.msi
The rest of the MSIs seem to execute a repair just fine.
The odd thing here is the name of the MSI: "AspNetCoreSharedFramework-x64.msi" it doesn't follow the typical naming convention: "netstandard_targeting_pack_2.1.0_preview7_27912_14_win_x64.msi"

Looking further...

@johnbeisner Thanks for looking into it but I think this issue is obsolete because of the availability of preview8. I mean you don't have to waste your time unless it is of further interest on your part.
The preview8 SDK windows installer 3.0.100-preview8-013656 from dot.net runs without problems.

I close this issue but feel free to reopen if you need further information on this. :)

@enricoreich thanks for bringing this up because I think the non-versioned name of the MSI is a potential problem because the repair/uninstall would need to know which MSI to 'call' given that a user might more than 1 SDK. We will look into this further.
