Removal of hosting bundle doesn't work

[blakeduffey]

Trying to automate the hosting bundle across our fleet of IIS server. Apparently MS provides no simple way of doing this via SCCM (you can install new version but not remove legacy versions.

I'm running: .\dotnet-core-uninstall.exe remove --force --all-but-latest --hosting-bundle

And I'm still prompted with

What's the point of this tool if it doesn't work?

I'm also including this link re: folks trying to accomplish the same thing (but may be having a different problem)

For an update - this command will remove the hosting bundle

.\dotnet-core-uninstall.exe remove --all --hosting-bundle --force

But STILL prompts for confirmation - removing any option regarding automation

Have you tried installing/uninstalling via WinGet? This repo doesn't really seem like it's maintained. :/

Winget isn't supported on Windows server?

I agree, it doesn't seem properly maintained

Oh I had no idea, sorry.

Can you not run the installers in silent mode by passing in the right flags though? After all, that's what WinGet does. At least that's what I see here. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/DotNet/SDK/8/8.0.201/Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.8.installer.yaml

I don't see what those flags for silent install are though. I guess they're added automatically by the InstallerType: burn.
