Description

Description
Some of the agents we get from azure devops when running windows-latest does not have .net 8.0.404

So Image 20241113.3.1 is not deployed to all agents yet, normal you only updated the wiki page after all agents are rolled updated

Is it regression?

20241113.3.0

Expected behavior

I expect that all agent run the version on the wiki page or a new version.

Actual behavior

We get the version list on the wiki page or older versions

Repro steps

Create a pipeline that need .net 8.0.404
Run it until you get an agent with version '20241113.3.0'

Yes, had this issue as well with a pipeline that uses the "latest windows agent". Even though the image that was grabbed says version 8.0.404 is pre-installed, we had to add the UseDotNet task to make sure it was there to allow us to install the correct workloads for our project with dotnet workload install, as dotnet install install was installing version 7 packages, even though our global.json specifies to use the latest version 8.

  - task: UseDotNet@2
    inputs:
      version: "8.x"
