Can't Ctrl-C out of Installing dotnet cli in Windows command prompt hangs

@hughbe commented on Thu Jun 15 2017

Normally I can press Ctrl-C and quit the currently exectuting task in the WIndows command prompt.

However, things seem to jam up and hang if I press control C when installing the dotnet cli.

This is a pain because my slow internet takes upwards of 1 hour to download the CLI, and I also often get errors like these and can’t quit the build…

@weshaggard @mellinoe any idea how to route it? This is significantly impacting contributor workflow 😦

Does Ctrl-Break work? Usually that’s not ignorable, wheras Ctrl-C relies on the app handling it.

@weshaggard commented on Thu Jun 15 2017

Also the access denied part is generally caused because msbuild or VS is holding locking those libraries so they cannot be updated. You generally need to shutdown those processes to unlock those files.

And VBCSCompiler.exe. Taskkill that, devenv and msbuild…

Sorry for the delay answering. I don’t actually have a break key on my laptop - indeed I’ve never actually heard of one before! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_key shows some substitute key combinations for dell laptops, but they don’t seem to work either

What I meant about the access denied errors is that if they occur I don’t really want the build to continue, However, I can’t exit the build at this point which is a pain

I think we should address this as the “ordinary” dev expects Ctrl + C to just work. I also hit this when I started to work in corefx.

Moving to arcade as they are now the owners of the bootstrap script.

Arcade isn’t doing much:

function GetDotNetInstallScript([string] $dotnetRoot) {
  $installScript = "$dotnetRoot\dotnet-install.ps1"
  if (!(Test-Path $installScript)) {
    Create-Directory $dotnetRoot
    Invoke-WebRequest "https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.ps1" -OutFile $installScript
  }

@markwilkie afaik this is still an issue.
