cli-lab Versions missing? Discrepancies with the output and what is on my machine

... While investigating dotnet/docs#27771

According to dotnet --info I have 3 SDK and 3 Runtimes installed. The 1 Runtime listed from the tool's version doesn't match the version from dotnet --info.

dotnet --info

To install additional .NET runtimes or SDKs:

dotnet-core-uninstall list


This tool cannot uninstall versions of the runtime or SDK that are 
    - SDKs installed using Visual Studio 2019 Update 3 or later.
    - SDKs and runtimes installed via zip/scripts.
    - Runtimes installed with SDKs (these should be removed by removing that SDK).
The versions that can be uninstalled with this tool are:

.NET Core SDKs:
  5.0.405  x64    [Used by Visual Studio. Specify individually or use —-force to remove]
  3.1.416  x64

.NET Core Runtimes:

ASP.NET Core Runtimes:
  6.0.2  x86

@adegeo , what's in your "program files (X86)\dotnet" folder? It looks like the uninstall tool is finding your x64 SDKs but looking for x86 runtimes which likely explains the difference.

@marcpopMSFT Yeah, I think so.

EDITED The customer having a similar issue which prompted my investigation is showing this, which also doesn't make sense as 5.0.4 isn't listed shown in the uninstall tool but is shown in dotnet info. I can't see how it's associated with an SDK as another 5.0.x version is listed.

I also have a vast discrepancy between the commands:

I really need the uninstall tool to be able to remove all the old runtimes because our enterprise runs security scans and the workstations are getting reported.

Same issue here. My corp has given me 7 days to remediate the security findings. I need to remove the old runtimes 6.0.15 but dotnet-core-uninstall only "see's" 6.0.18.

@marcpopMSFT Has the tool been fixed related to these problems?

Oct 13 '23 20:10 adegeo

We have not made investments in this tool in a while and so have not investigated cases where --info and the tool differ. @Forgind has looked into the tool recently and can potentially take a brief look if there is anything obvious.

It's difficult to encourage adoption of .Net overall if it is cumbersome to manage. As users, we are pointed to tools like this - and those tools don't work.
