Microsoft Windows | Patch My PC Feature and Application Request

Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 6.x

The Microsoft .NET Core Runtime and Hosting Bundle 2/3/5/6 is already available in the catalog; however the Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime is a seperate package. Windows desktop applications written for .NET Core will require this runtime instead.

Note the package is listed as both the Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime and the Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime.

Version 5.x and 6.x are available, but 5.x goes EOS May 08, 2022.

The .NET Core Runtime and Hosting Bundle package ends up installing the Windows Server Hosting bundle, even when deployed to desktops, so the existing packages aren't ideal for most desktop estates.

I am running into this issue too. The current .Net Core Runtime and Hosting Bundle installs server related frameworks that are not needed on desktops.

I believe we are going to provide the desktop runtime installers for initial deployment in the future, no timeframe on this yet though.

Updates for this are now provided by MS, but it would be nice if PatchMyPC provided the Desktop Runtime installers for ConfigMgr and Intune for initial deployment.

FYI: If your environment has WSUS or SCCM / Config Manager, it's deployable there too. Reference: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-core-updates-coming-to-microsoft-update/
