Build Tools 2019 installer not supporting .Net 4.8 #1040

Open gordonAndersen opened 5 years ago

Visual Studio Installer does not seem to include .NET 4.8 . The installer only supports up to 4,7,2 as an available payload. This is highly confusing when wanting to use 4,8 on headless build agents. The same goes for Build Tools 2019.

As per this announcement (on the release of 4.8),

(The first paragraph)

We are thrilled to announce the release of the .NET Framework 4.8 today. It’s included in the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. .NET Framework 4.8 is also available on Windows 7+ and Windows Server 2008 R2+.

That said, the May 2019 update [was it KB4494441 ?] did not flow down for me until the 15th of May, and it did not contain the .NET Framework 4.8. In any case, I had already installed the 4.8 using the offline installer shortly after the GA announcement.

Also, since this concerns the Visual Studio Installer, I have opened a ticket here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/571610/visual-studio-installer-no-option-to-install-net-f.html
