Description
We have received sporadic reports about users unable to correct configure ASP.NET Core on their machines. This centers on ASP.NET Core installers not including the runtime.
Here is a latest (and quite informative) description of that: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/33793
Proposal is this:
- Update x64 and x86 installers to install .NET runtime (matching version).
- Do same on macOS and Windows (where we have fancy installers).
- Deprioritize the hosting bundle. Perhaps only list it in release notes (or in a different section).
It appears that the zips bundle the runtime, but the EXEs don't. That seems like an odd design choice.
