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

See original GitHub issue

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.

.NET 6 Hosting Bundle:

According to the docs, IsWow64Process2 is supposed to be supported on Windows 10 build 1511 and Server 2016. It appears that it’s not supported on Server 2016 and always returns an unknown machinetype value (00).

@snickler The hosting bundle remembers what it originally installed, so if you tried to install the build that @HaoK shared it will only try to update the previous bits that were installed.
