.NET 7.0.0-rc1 ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle fails to install x64 runtime/ANCM on Server 2016

[snickler]

I have a few Server 2016 VMs hosting ASP.NET Core 3.1 and ASP.NET Core 6 applications in IIS through the .NET Core Hosting Bundles.

Upon installing the .NET 7 rc1 Hosting Bundle, I noticed that it's ONLY installing the x86 runtime and nothing for x64. Comparing snippets of the installation logs for .NET 6 Hosting Bundle compared to the .NET 7 rc1 hosting bundle, it seems some of the machine detection logic has changed?

I've even tried running the installation with an admin prompt with the OPT_NO_X86=1 flag, and it doesn't make a difference. The only way anything x64-related installs is if I manually install the components. ASP.NET Core Runtime and .NET Core Runtime x64 will install properly when done manually. The ANCM is another story.

I saw that this issue got moved from installer to aspnetcore. Is this a runtime related issue? Because I was able to run the standalone ASPNET 7.0-rc1 Runtime Installer and it installed x64 just fine. This issue only occurs when the Hosting Bundle Installer is used.

@HaoK Can you please take a look and see if you can reproduce this issue?

[joeloff]

I wonder if this is related to the arm64 changes and whether the NativeMachine property is not being set and this being a Server 2016 OS. @snickler can you post first part of the log, there should be a section that looks similar to this

[0FA0:09A8][2022-09-23T13:13:30]i100: Detect begin, 10 packages

[0FA0:09A8][2022-09-23T13:13:30]i052: Condition '(NativeMachine="34404")' evaluates to true.

But according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wow64apiset/nf-wow64apiset-iswow64process2 2016 is the minimum supported server version for the API. Could be a problem with the conditional authoring as well.

[HaoK]

Here is the PR I think that changed the authoring in case its obvious from the change: https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/_git/VS/pullrequest/400217?_a=files

That's for adding ANCM to VS, I think this issue is for the standalone hosting bundle, so it might be this one: #40709 (There might have been mopup PRs too)

[HaoK]

Okay so the check looks the same as the PR still for x64 in main, basically:

InstallCondition="(NativeMachine="$(var.NativeMachine_x64)") AND (IISCoreWebEngineInstalled_x64=1) AND (IISW3SVCInstalled_x64=1) AND (NOT OPT_NO_ANCM OR OPT_NO_ANCM="0")">

So it is the NatiiveMachine property that's not being set. On my Win10 x64 Sandbox, I get

What does WinVer say about the exact OS version?

@joeloff @HaoK Perhaps this is the issue? https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/bundle_built_in_variables.html

NativeMachine - gets the Image File Machine value representing the native architecture of the machine. This variable was added in v3.14 and is only set on Windows 10, version 1511 (TH2) and higher.

14393.xxxx is 1607 so this SHOULD apply?
