Build failing with "Multiple versions from list" issue

[LokeshNagireddy]

Hi Team,

we are using the runner images for our windows VM in Azure cloud.
We typically use the scripts from the below file (images/windows/templates/windows-2022.pkr.hcl).

Today while we are upgrading several s/w from this script, we got the below error on packer build step of our pipeline.

As per my analysis, i think this happened after running all tests (RunAll-Tests.ps1). But there is no info at which line it was gone to error.
We are not sure whats missing and what caused the error, may you please help me to solve the same.

i look forward for your response.

Hey @LokeshNagireddy, error is related to .NET Core SDK software report, which is run using this script. 8.0.202, 8.0.203 - only one of these is expected.
I have just run test Windows 2022 build which completed successfully. Main branch of this repository builds correctly, so I guess software changes you made caused this behavior.
If additional .Net SDKs are desired, you can either remove Generate-SoftwareReport.ps1 related packer provisioners or adjust software report builder

runner-images/helpers/software-report-base/SoftwareReport.Nodes.psm1

Line 211 in 00b6696

$this.ValidateMajorVersionRegex()

Hi Shamil,

Thanks for your reply.
in your build, its not taking 8.0.203 version of .NET Core SDK.
But in our build its taking automatically. Can you please let me know how are you able to avoid 8.0.203 version?
i cant skip the Generate software report step.

i look forward for your response.
