The difference between dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0,0, rc1-final and dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0,0.rc1-update1

Question

I installed the Visual Studio 2015 1 update. However, despite the choice of installing web applications, it was not installed. Then I installed the asp.net 5 RC installer website from get.asp.net .

Now, when I want to open my ASP.net 5 project, I get this message:

How to find out which one is the latest version? dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0,0, rc1-final and dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0,0.rc1-update1

and how to update an existing project to use the latter.

Answer 1

The latest version is Update-1. There wasn’t much about this, but you can safely upgrade your projects to this, you no longer need rc1-final, if you specifically do not want to.

The easiest way to do this is to simply right-click on your project, “Properties” and select which version of dnx you want to use. Pressing the No button should also have this effect.

Answer 2

rc1-update1 was released a couple of weeks after rc1 due to some problems with the / dnx installer. An update has been added to the official rc1 release announcement.

ASP.NET 5 RC1 installers and DNX packages have been updated to resolve the following issues:

• If you run the Windows installer from a folder containing previous versions of MSI installers for DNVM (DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi or DotNetVersionManager-x86.msi) or ASP.NET Tools for Visual Studio (WebToolsExtensionsVS14.msi or WebToolsExtensionsVWD14.msi), the installation program finishes the error "0x80091007 - The hash value is incorrect."
• When installing on OS X, the .pkg installer will create the ~ / .dnx folder on the clean machine as root so that you can’t do anything with this folder if you were not root ( aspnet / dnx # 3191 )
• Running a published application based on .NET Core leads to the conclusion of FileNotFoundExceptions for missing assemblies (for example, System.Net.Security, System.Data.SqlClient) ( aspnet / dnx # 3183 )

An updated version of DNX (1.0.0-rc1-update1) is available through the .NET Version Manager (DNVM). Note. No other ASP.NET 5 NuGet packages have updated this update and therefore their versions remain unchanged. If you have already installed RC1, please purchase and run the installer again from http://get.asp.net to receive this update.
