Hosting Bundle 8.0.11 does not install .Net Runtime

[nagababu0579]

Hi,

Everything was working as expected until hosting bundle version 8.0.7. From later versions, seeing issues.HostingBundle_Install_Uninstall_Logs.txt

Until 8.0.7, installing hosting bundle included all components like Windows Server Hosting, .Net Runtime, Asp.Net Core Shared Framework and these are clearly displayed in control panel programs.

I installed hosting bundle 8.0.11 and I do not see all components in control panel. I see only windows server hosting and initially assumed all components are installed silently. I ran 'dotnet --info' command and noticed .Net Runtime is not installed. I uninstalled and re-installed, then I can see .Net Runtime is installed this time. I suspect something happened during uninstall and that led to install .Runtime in the second install.

From logs I see the following, but not able to clearly understand the difference from first time to second time installation. Can you please help me understand why it skips installing .Net Runtime? This is very important for us to give exact information to our clients.

I have included logs text in the attached file:
Section1: First time installation log text
Section2: Uninstallation log text
Section3: Re-installation log text

During first installation:

Registry key not found. Key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NET\8.0'

Condition 'OPT_NO_RUNTIME_Exists' evaluates to true.

Setting string variable 'OPT_NO_RUNTIME' to value '1'

During second installation:

Registry key not found. Key = 'Software\Microsoft\dotnet\host\options\8.0'

Setting numeric variable 'OPT_NO_RUNTIME_Exists' to value 0
