(dotnetcore-runtime.install) Installation fails when RSAT installed

[mkevenaar]

Hi,

I have the RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) installed on my Windows 10 machine. Due to this, the POSH cmdlet Get-WindowsFeature exists and L18 of the ChocolateyInstall.ps1 will not be $null

https://github.com/dotnetcore-chocolatey/dotnetcore-chocolateypackages/blob/master/dotnetcore-runtime.install/tools/ChocolateyInstall.ps1#L18

You can't execute Get-WindowsFeature targeting a client machine, resulting in an error message.

You can bypass the problem by downloading the package manually and changing the ChocolateyInstall.ps1 file inside the nupkg file. If you change line 18 into $getWindowsFeature = $null the problem is ignored.

Did you find any solution for this?

Fixed (#55)

[jberezanski]

To be more specific, fixed packages were pushed for 2.1 and 3.1. 5.0 will gain this fix once Microsoft releases a new RC or the final product. Other version families are out of Microsoft support, so I doubt anyone cares about them anymore.
