I am trying to build a .net core console application, and the machine I am building from does not have internet access.
When I try and build, the error I get is that it is Error NU1102: Unable to find package Microsoft.NETCore.App.Host.win-x64. No packages exist with this id in source(s): Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages, nuget.org
I think that the correct files are all in place in C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.NETCore.App.Host.win-x64\<version>\runtimes\win-x64\native but I don't know how to tell dotnet restore to look there (or is there another place that needs to have the right data?)
Is there a good way to do this?

We have for a while been building various web projects with AzureDevops and self hosted build agents.
Today I had to add a new build, consisting of a windows service written in .net core 3.1. This service has to be installed by our customers, so we have to provide it in a friendly installable way. As some of our developers were already used to handle MSI/*.vdproj projects, they added a vdproj into the *.sln to manage that. On a developper machine, this is not a problem even with VS2019: you just have to use the relevant VS studio extension...
But when it comes to building that in a CI/CD context, this becomes a real challenge. I quickly understood that we can't use MSBuild at all for that and found some alternative using directly Visual Studio (devenv)... Inspired by this thread (still opened), I came up with the following command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv" [...]\MySolution.sln /build "Release" /Project MyInstallationProject
This worked fine both on my developer machine and even on the build agent machine. But when I add it into a build pipeline as a command line task, it seems to hang, and after a while I get the following result for the job:
##[error]The job running on agent <MyAgent> ran longer than the maximum time of 60 minutes. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2077134
What can I do to make it work?
What are the best practices for generating a self installable in a CI/CD context? (Is MSI still relevant? )
As a workaround, you can try to install the extension Build VS Installer and use the task DutchWorkz - Build VS Installer(s) to build Visual Studio Installer Project in Azure Pipelines.
Here are some tickets(ticket1, ticket2) with similar issue you can refer to.
Converted an old .NET Framework project to .NET Core 3.1 yesterday. The application runs fine on my own machine and debugs correctly.
I have put both the following into my .vbproj/.csproj
<PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
<RuntimeIdentifier>win81-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
However when I move the .EXE to a remote machine and attempt to run said EXE on that remote machine I get told that the DLL (for the project in question) does not exists.
I moved the .dll to the same directory that the exe is in (not ideal) and get the following error instead
A fatal error was encountered. The library 'hostpolicy.dll' required to execute the application was not found in 'C:\Program Files\dotnet'.
I used to use Costura.Fody to create a single file exe without any issues in .NET Framework, I was under the impression the above would do the same for the .NET Core packages.
Can someone point me in the right direction please.
For anyone else that may find this question and find it useless.
I was 'Building' the project instead of 'Publishing' the project, this in-turn wasn't creating the self-contained exe properly.
Don't be a donut like me.
In Visual Studio 2019, go to Build > Publish MyApp. This will open a tab in the editor area. Click on Show all settings to open the Profile settings dialog. Then click on File publish options and check Produce single file.
I get this error when using SQLite.
DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'SQLite.Interop.dll': The
specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x8007007E)
I tried several solution without success.
Tried using x86/x64
Tried this:
Visual Studio 2017 Xamarin UWP break, unable to load "sqlite3"
Added 2015 Visual C++ runtime dependency for UWP.
Tried manually adding the .dll and set it to "copy always".
Tried installing locally depedencies from here
I'm really out of ideas.
I had this problem running in release but not in debug.
I am using VS2017 15.9.5
Using Release manager I changed all the projects to use Release x64
Strangely the Platform tab asked me to make a new Platform and I had to do this in order to be able to pick an x64 platform
I wound up installing the SQLite modules in all the projects, not just the data tier. it would not work with just the data tier, even though I had Copy local true.
Here are the nuget packages I used
I am trying to publish my Web App in Visual Studio Professional 2013 but getting the following error
I got the same question asked over here but no useful answer.
Can anyone please help
You probably will be using older version, that was having an issue. refer detail [here]
Install the newer web deployment tool, should work.
which .net version are you using.
check web deploy version. if vs has 2 web deploy version, the vs get confuse to take which version. If it has 2 version, just uninstall vs and then instal it along with web deploy. if the Vs has one 1 web deploy version, you uninstall and install the web deploy. It will rectify your problem i hope.
You can refer This link
Check if version 9.0.0.0 of the assembly is installed in GAC. (from the VS2013 developer command prompt) gacutil /l Microsoft.Web.Deployment. Issues like this have occurred in the past where things worked, then after installing an update (or trying to install one) then reports of missing dlls, like nuget, occur.
The usual course of action is to repair the Visual Studio installation.
There is a problem with your publish profile. Delete the pubxml file located bellow Properties folder in your project and then create a new publish profile.
I got the same problem when older project runs into the new .NET Framework, for that you have to do the following.
Right Click on your project name->select Property Pages -> Click Build from the menu-> then select Target Framework .Net framework 4.5 or your current using framework..
"Could not load file or assembly" means the required file (of that mentioned version) is not available in the assembly (nor in the registry). All you gotta to do is to ensure this same is installed properly that would allow you to proceed further. The other things to ensure is the latest framework installed on your system.
Think you have some errors happen when to install or update Visual 2013, so you can reinstall again and this error will be fixed.
A project gets built fine from Visual Studio without a problem from developers work station. Now we need to more it to DEV and UAT server. I've been struggling all day trying to get my ASP.NET project built with msbuild on a server with no Visual Studio installed (dev tools not permitted on servers) -
The type or namespace name 'Optimization' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web'
The type or namespace name 'DotNetOpenAuth' could not be found
Couple attempts were made:
1. Install Windows SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/hardware/hh852363) - appears there has been a lot of discussions from another Stackoverflow post (Related but not exactly - Build ASP.NET 4.5 without Visual Studio on Build Server). You'd also need to add to environment variables PATH
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools
(This did NOT help)
2: gacutil to install the dll's?
(no vs command prompt - as said, no dev tool/Visual Studio permitted on server)
3: copy the dlls' to (i.e. same folder as MSBuild.exe):
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\
(This did NOT help)
4: Copy local = true
(This did NOT help - the dll's apparent msbuild can't find already in bin folder of the ASP.NET application)
It appears to be a bug with msbuild - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/434abf1a-30db-4b13-8062-13755898dd71/msbuild-is-unable-to-link-to-a-webapplication-project?forum=msbuild
Anyone has experience with this?
Thank you for your feedback. This is an intentional change made in VS 2012. Projects excluded from a build configuration do not get built when you are building that configuration.
Yes, I've had experience with that. I discovered that excluding the project was handy in the IDE, I think I remember so that stable libraries don't get rebuilt so often; but the user could right-click on that project and build directly just once or when really needed.
But, it broke the MSBuild.exe command-line build, because those projects were not available at all.
One thing is to add conditional logic to the build file so it knows to set things differently for an interactive user or a pure build environment:
Condition="'$(BuildingInsideVisualStudio)' == 'true'"
I ended up eventually improving the build solution in my case, so I can't recall a specific example of the Excluded thing.
