Azure DevOps script created by new project template fails when downloading WindowsSDK.iso

[ToddGlodek]

As seen when an Azure DevOps pipleline is run using this demo repository , the scripts created by Uno Platform's new project template fail when downloading the WindowsSDK.iso file. This repository was created earlier today to demonstrate the issue, by way of using the very latest possible scripts.

When run, the Azure pipeline displays the following :

Checking for installed Windows SDK 10.0.19041.0...Installation required
Checking if StrongName bypass required...REQUIRED
Downloading winsdk_19041.iso from C:\Users\VSSADM~1\AppData\Local\Temp\WindowsSDK\winsdk_19041.iso ...
WARNING: Failed to fetch updated file from https://software-download.microsoft.com/download/pr/19041.1.191206-1406.vb_release_WindowsSDK.iso

The following link is used in the fetch attempt:
https://software-download.microsoft.com/download/pr/19041.1.191206-1406.vb_release_WindowsSDK.iso

The link used in the Azure build pipeline used to work fine, but has started to fail in the last 24 hours -- displaying a 404 Error both from build script and when accessed from a browser. So, pipelines that used to work - now are failing.

Now it looks like this :

Or, sometimes like this :

Thanks for the report.

This resource started to be missing today, we're in contact with Microsoft to determine what to do.

A fix is available here: unoplatform/uno.templates#1172

So, just to confirm. All we have to do to fix our existing CI Pipelines is:

Modify the \build\Install-WindowsSdkISO.ps1 file in each pipeline and replace line# 254

$uri = "https://software-download.microsoft.com/download/pr/19041.1.191206-1406.vb_release_WindowsSDK.iso";

with

$uri = "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2120735";
