ASP.NET 5 beta 8 requires HttpPlatformHandler MSI installed on build server

With the latest release of ASP.NET beta 8, it requires a new HttpPlatformHandler to be installed on the server running VS2015. This is achieved with the latest IDE tooling update, but on the build server, it needs this separately.

Is there a way to install an MSI via build script, or would this have to be done on the image itself?

Thanks,
Kirk

See this discussion thread:

And from their announcement:
https://github.com/aspnet/Hosting/issues/364

1. Download and install HttpPlatformHandler v1.2 on the server.

x86 version: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=690722
x64 version: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=690721

   It could be easily installed with the following script:

   Write-Host "Installing HttpPlatformHandler..."
   $msiPath = "$($env:USERPROFILE)\httpPlatformHandler_amd64.msi"
   (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1/3/813AC4E6-9203-4F7A-8DD5-F3D54D10C5CD/httpPlatformHandler_amd64.msi', $msiPath)
   cmd /c start /wait msiexec /i $msiPath /quiet
   Write-Host "Installed" -ForegroundColor green
   

   However "ASP.NET beta 8" is the news. We are going to update VS 2015 on build workers in the meantime.

   Great, thanks. Is there a place to look for notifications when build workers get updated?

   Hi Feodor, is there an ETA on getting the build workers updated to beta 8? Just wanted to plan out our next steps.

   Thanks,
