Update ASP.net Core

When would you use the Upgrade ASP.net Core installations Worklet?

This PowerShell Worklet is designed to grant an Admin the ability to upgrade existing installations of ASP.net Core. Both x86 and x64 installers will need to be downloaded from the ASP.net download site and uploaded to the Automox Console. Be sure to download the "Installers" and not the "Binaries". This will allow the Worklet to update devices that may have both x86 and x64 runtimes installed.

How does the Upgrade ASP.net Core installations PowerShell Worklet work?

Only one variable, $fVersion, is needed for the Evaluation script. This is used to determine the version of ASP.net Core to be installed and should be the same version of the uploaded installer files.

There are four variables for the Remediation script. These are used to define the installer filenames, the installer version, and the path for the logfile.

• $x64Fname and $x86Fname: This will be the names of the x86 and x64 installers. Be sure to use the full name including the .exe file extension.

• $fVersion: This will be the "Major"."Minor"."Build" version number of the runtime. This version number is usually displayed in the installer filename itself.

• $logPath: This is the path that the installer will output the log to. Only define paths as the filename is handled in the script. When using environment variables be sure to use the PowerShell equivalent by using the $env: prefix before the named variable.
