I have a .NET Core Web Application. I'm using the publish command to create a self contained deployment.
It creates the files and appears to create .net core dlls, but when runnning in IIS on Windows 10, I still need to install the .NET Core Runtime to get it to work. After installing .NET Core Hosting bundle it works fine.
I have reviewed a lot of other posts before asking, but can't find the answer.
By default IIS gives the following error:
HTTP ERROR 500.19 – Internal Server Error
My Publish command:
dotnet publish "mydirectory\mywebsite.csproj" --self-contained --framework netcoreapp2.1 -r win10-x64 -c Release
The csproj looks like this:
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
<UserSecretsId>aspnet-mywebsite-656GASF8-B9H4-5963-1038-5D735B609E15</UserSecretsId>
<RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
</PropertyGroup>
Here are the published files.
I thought maybe the 'l1-1-0' part might be the wrong framework version, but my dotnet version is 2.1.500.
What do I need to do to get it to work please?
Lex Li's comment/ blog post contains the answer. I'm detailing it here to try to save someone else losing days to this simple misunderstanding.
A self contained deployment does indeed include the runtime, but
it doesn't include the ASP.NET Core module for IIS which you get
when you download the Runtime & Hosting Bundle from the .net downloads
page.
So if you are deploying to IIS, you will need to run the Runtime & Hosting Bundle installer even for a self contained deployment.
A self contained deployment just means the application will use the .NET Core Runtime packaged with the application rather than whatever is installed on the machine.

I need to publish .net core project to smarterasp.net server. I use visual studio code. How can I deploy my project?
I've run into bugs with Web Deploy, so I use a Folder (aka 'File') deploy to a local folder and then FTP the content of that folder to the root website folder at SmarterASP.NET. The main trick is that when you set up your publishing profile, you must change to 'self contained' and target x86. If you leave the default settings, your site won't work. I'm referring to Core 3 here....
since I don't know the smarterasp.net provider, but unless you have a free hosting plan, smarterasp.net declares that ASP.NET Core 3.x is already installed for which you only need to build your project and inserting it in the root of your IIS site without installing the core framework on the server would not work.
Good luck.
I am having a persistent problem with ErrorCode = '0x80004005 : 8000808c. on win 2012r2
Deploying an updated app that uses:
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.8" />
I have installed
dotnet-runtime-2.0.7-win-x64.exe
AspNetCore.2.0.7.RuntimePackageStore_x64.exe
DotNetCore.2.0.7-WindowsHosting.exe
and rebooted the machine but the problem persists. I've deployed the same files to IIS (not IIS EXpress) on my windows 10 dev box and it works fine there.
Any ideas how to solve it?
Microsoft made it not easy to find the relevant information.
Scroll down to ".NET Core Runtime-only installation" section in release notes, and it seems that all your 2.0.7 installers were the old ones, while Microsoft almost silently refreshed all of them to include the 2.0.8 bits (what a crazy idea).
The proof is that in your screen shot there is no "ASP.NET Runtime Core Package Store 2.0.8". And you probably used Framework Dependent Deployment, instead of Self Contained Deployment, which also amplifies the issue.
I had similar error: ErrorCode = '0x80004005' : 8000808c.
I am using shared resources, and the package does not allow installation of .NET Core 2.1 SDK.
I had to change my publishing settings from Framework dependent to self-contained. That resolved the issue.
publish command:
dotnet publish --configuration Release -r win10-x64 -o "publish path" --self-contained true
I am trying to publish a Netcore 2.0 application with MSBUILD.
The published output is missing all the SDK dlls such as Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.dll (there are a lot) so when I try to run the application from command line with dotnet appname.dll I get the error saying that it can't find the referenced dll...
I have published other applications before (not created by me) and the publish copies the dlls and also has a "refs" folder which mine does not have.
So I am pretty sure it's a project configuration issue but I have been searching for hours and there is no information on what I should change.
Turns out there was a nuget reference on my project called Microsoft.AspNetCore.All...
For some reason uninstalling this reference solved the issue and now the publish output contains all the SDK dlls
The ASP.NET Core dlls are part of the runtime store that is included in the runtime & hosting bundle installations so they don't need to be included in the publish output. (note that this is going to change in the 2.1 timeframe)
To disable the use of the ASP.NET Core runtime package store, you can set this in your project file:
<PropertyGroup>
<PublishWithAspNetCoreTargetManifest>false</PublishWithAspNetCoreTargetManifest>
</PropertyGroup>
I'm trying to configure Visual Studio Online to continuously deploy my ASPNET 5 application to an Azure webapp as described in this tutorial from the Team Foundation Build docs: https://msdn.microsoft.com/Library/vs/alm/Build/azure/deploy-aspnet5
I have followed all the steps and everything is working great. By default this script deploys a build of my app that targets the full .Net 4.5.1 DNX so I decided to try and modify it to deploy for .Net Core.
The build script creates its deployment package by calling: msbuild.exe /t:Build,FileSystemPublish
After turning up log verbosity and reading through the relevant msbuild files I have learned the following:
The "Build" target ultimately uses dnx.exe to compile the project. Because the project.json file includes both dnx451 and coreclr TFMs this step produces build output for both frameworks - so far so good.
However, the FileSystemPublish target seems to only output an msdeploy package that targets the .Net 4.5.1 runtime. From the logs I could see executing the FileSystemPublish target ultimately issues a "dnu publish" command and in my cases passes "dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta6" as the -runtime parameter. When I followed the breadcrumbs to find out where it was getting the value "dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta6" from I eventually ended up in the "GetRuntimeToolingPath" task in Microsoft.DNX.Tasks.dll. This task seems to look in global.json to determine the correct runtime to use but strangely appears to internally override this value with "x86" and "clr" before creating the return string.
If I have interpreted things correctly, it seems that the FileSystemPublish target (in Microsoft.DNX.Publishing.targets) is essentially (indirectly) hard wired to use the x86, full .Net framework DNX when it produces its package output. At this point I am stuck for how to get this build process to produce a .Net Core package.
My question is why would FileSystemPublish be coupled to the x86 full .Net DNX and given this appears to be the case (unless I am mistaken) what is the recommended way to produce an msdeploy package for an ASPNET 5 app that targets .Net core?
EDIT:
For now I have a workaround. I can pass /p:RuntimeToolingDirectory="C:\Users\buildguest\.dnx\runtimes\dnx-coreclr-win-x64.1.0.0-beta6" as a parameter to msbuild.
This overrides the default logic in the GetRuntimeToolPath and forces it to use .Net Core. This works but feels like a hack so I'm leaving the question open for a better answer.
To publish Core CLR, you can pass the msbuild parameter 'PublishDNXVersion' as dnx-coreclr-win-x64.1.0.0-beta6.
msbuild <project>.xproj /p:deployOnBuild=true;PublishDNXVersion=dnx-coreclr-win-x64.1.0.0-beta6

On the right hand side is a section that says "set up publishing with visual studio online". Clicking on that link will walk you through the necessary steps to set up continuous deployment from a visual studio online repository (either git or tfs based)
Since that is a mouthful, I have provided a link to a tutorial which walks you through the entire process: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-continuous-delivery-use-vso/#step3
Had the same problem with .NET Core RC2-preview1 tooling. My solution: Add SDKToolingDirectory to my .xproj with a proper path to .NET Core installation:
<PropertyGroup>
<VisualStudioVersion Condition="'$(VisualStudioVersion)' == ''">14.0</VisualStudioVersion>
<VSToolsPath Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' == ''">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)</VSToolsPath>
<SDKToolingDirectory>C:\Program Files\dotnet</SDKToolingDirectory>
</PropertyGroup>
I had some luck with this by passing the following parameters into the Bundling step of my Visual Studio Online build process:
/p:Bundle64BitRuntime=true /p:BundleCoreClrRuntime=true
This causes my publish to leverage the 64 bit CoreCLR Runtime when it runs through msbuild.exe.
I figured this stuff out by digging through the Microsoft.DNX.Publishing.targets file (found at C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\Web) and looking for variables I could pass in as properties. Regarding runtime, this seems to be an interesting snippet:
<GetRuntimeVersion
Condition="'$(IgnoreDNXRuntime)' != 'true'"
RuntimeVersionOverride="$(PublishDNXVersion)"
TargetDNXVersion="$(_DefaultDNXVersion)"
RuntimeToolingVersion="$(RuntimeToolingVersion)"
Want64Bit="$(Bundle64BitRuntime)"
WantCoreClr="$(BundleCoreClrRuntime)">
<Output PropertyName="FinalPublishVersion" TaskParameter="RuntimeVersion"></Output>
</GetRuntimeVersion>
There's probably a little bit(?) of risk here in terms of future proofing your build routine against future changes to variables names. But, you know, beta software and all that :)
Good luck!
We have with success been updating our development web site at a daily basis using msdeploy from TFS2010.
This was working fine until we upgraded to VS2012, our application from .NET Framework 4.0 to 4.5 and ASP.NET MVC from 3.0 to 4.0. It look like all is well and assemblies deployed but nothing has actually been deployed.
I have been looking into this for two days now and can't figure out why this is happening and now I am running out of ideas.
Below is part of my build script in the way it has been working before the upgrade.
<MSBuild
Projects="$(SolutionRoot)\My.Web\My.Web.csproj"
Properties="MvcBuildViews=False;AllowUntrustedCertificate=True;AuthType=Basic;Configuration=Dev;CreatePackageOnPublish=True;DeployIisAppPath=dev.myweb;DeployOnBuild=True;DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish;MSDeployPublishMethod=WMSvc;MsDeployServiceUrl=https://10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8172/MsDeploy.axd;UserName=UserName;Password=Password;UseMsdeployExe=True"
ContinueOnError="False"
/>
When the upgrade was initiated and my problem discovered we were using Web Deploy 2.0 but now we have upgraded to Web Deploy 3.0. I have also made sure we are building with ToolsVersion="4.0".
UPDATE --
msbuild.exe /p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True
/p:AuthType=Basic
/p:Configuration=Dev
/p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True
/p:DeployIisAppPath=dev.myweb
/p:DeployOnBuild=True
/p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish
/p:MSDeployPublishMethod=WMSvc
/p:MsDeployServiceUrl=https://10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8172/MsDeploy.axd
/p:UserName=UserName
/p:Password=Password
/p:UseMsdeployExe=True
E:\Builds\1\WhatEver\Daily_Build\Sources\My.Web\My.Web.csproj
Now I also tried to run the above msbuild command from our TFS and no response which frustrates me completely. Nothing in the event log of TFS, nothing in log file no matter verbosity... Any ideas?
It does work using msdeploy directy like below;
<Exec Command=""C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\MSDeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:contentPath="E:\Builds\1\WhatEver\Daily_Build\Sources\My.Web\My.Web.csproj" -dest:contentPath="E:\dev.my.web",computername=https://10.xxx.xxx.xxx:8172/MsDeploy.axd,username=UserName,password=Password,authtype=Basic -allowUntrusted=True"
ContinueOnError="false" />

UPDATE 2 --
It appears Microsoft added a check for what type of projects that are publishable projects and our web application are not, since the Output Type is Class Library. This has been valid with v4.0 but apparently not for v4.5.
Anyone have an idea of what to do make it work again? Do I need to change the project type? Create publishing package up front and then deploy that? Or what?

Anyone else that has had the same problem? Have you found a solution to share?
Could there be an issue with version of MSBuild?
Here is what I would recommend. In VS2012 we have made it easy to automate publishing your web projects using the publish profiles which are created by the publish dialog. In your case create a new MSDeploy profile. When you create that profile we will save the settings into a file under Properties\PublishProfiles (or My Project\PublishProfiles for VB). The extension of this file will be .pubxml. Those files are actually MSBuild files, which you can customize if needed. You can continue to use the publish dialog as well. The password will be stored in a .user file and encrypted such that only you can decrypt it.
After you have created that profile you can publish with the command below if you are building the .sln file.
msbuild mysoln.sln /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=<ProfileName> /p:Password=<Password>
If you are building the .csproj/.vbproj then you need to tweak this a bit in the following way
msbuild mysoln.sln /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=<ProfileName> /p:Password=<Password> /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0
More on why VisualStudioVersion is required at http://sedodream.com/2012/08/19/VisualStudioProjectCompatabilityAndVisualStudioVersion.aspx.
Once you do this you will be able to build+publish just like you did previously. FYI we have shipped all these new web publish features for VS2010 in the Azure SDK https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/#.
Also in your question I noticed that you are specifying some custom properties, like MvcBuildViews. You can now place those properties directly inside the publish profile (the .pubxml file) if you want. Of course you can still pass them in on the command line if that makes more sense for your scenario.
More info on this at http://sedodream.com/2012/06/15/VisualStudio2010WebPublishUpdates.aspx.
If you take a look at the approach that we had for developers to automate publishing it was to specify properties and targets to be executed during the build. The problem with this approach is that this limits our ability to enhance the web publish experience. In the new release we have introduced an abstraction, the publish profile, which allows us to change the underlying targets of the web publish pipeline and your automation scripts will continue to run. Hopefully from this point forward you will not have to re-visit this issue.
I had much the same problem today. I too was trying to get a .NET 4.5 web application automatically deployed using a machine that did not have Visual Studio 2012 installed on it. There were a couple of minor differences in my situation, however: I was using TeamCity instead of TFS, and our solution was created with .NET 4.5 as opposed to being one that had been upgraded from .NET 4.0.
Nonetheless, I did have the same problem described. I'd use MSBuild to build the web app and deploy it to IIS, in much the same way. This approach worked fine on my dev machine. However, when I ran MSBuild on the CI server, it quite happily built the web app, but it stopped after that: no errors, no warnings, nothing, just a message that the build was successful. There wasn't the slightest hint of an attempt at deploying the app to IIS.
It seems MSBuild was missing the relevant targets to perform the web deployment.
The fix was to copy the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web from my dev machine to the CI server, copying it to the same place on the CI server as it was on my machine.
Once I did that, MSBuild then grumbled about needing Web Deploy 3.0, but that was fixed easily enough. After installing that on the CI server too, MSBuild quite happily deployed the web app.
To extend Luke Woodward's answer:
I, too, found that deploying C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\ from my local machine to the build server was the fix.
However, the real fix is to install the Microsoft Web Developer Tools as part of the VS 2012 installation, which will create this folder, among other things. This addresses Ieppie's licensing objection.
I tested this by...
Deleting C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\
Running the VS 2012 installer and adding MS Web Dev tools.
Verifying that, after the install, C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\ was back.
