I configured a self-hosted agent from which to do my Dynamics 365 app builds/deployments.

However, I seem to be missing something, as the PowerApps Tool installer fails:

(had to translate the error message from German, so they might differ a bit)

Using Microsoft-hosted agents, the task succeeds. I'm a beginner when it comes to this stuff, so can someone ELI5 what I'm missing?

PowerApps Tool Installer fails for self-hosted agents

According to the error message, it seem the nuget.exe could not find the package Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreTools from the nuget.org. And it is still the old version 2.8.5.208.

To resolve this issue, please try to download a new version of nuget.exe, save it in your local machine where your self-hosted agents installed.

Then set the local path of NuGet.exe into your path environment variable, check this document for some more details.

Besides, open the nuget.config in the path: 

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.Config

Update the package scource:

 <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
  </packageSources>

Hope this helps.

  • Hey Leo, thanks for your help! I did as you were told, downloaded newest nuget, put it in the agent directory top level, added it to path. Restarted pc/agent. The task still shows nuget version 2.8.5.208 and still fails. I checked if there is any other nuget version set in PATH (user/system settings both), but that doesn't seem to be the case. The nuget.config had the exact package source you were describing in it.I think I'm still missing something..? – bananamufu Jun 02 '20 at 11:55
  • Hello Leo, could you help me with this? I can't seem to figure it out on my own. – bananamufu Jun 10 '20 at 09:44
