dotnet-install fails with Exception calling invoke with 0 arguments

[kathenn]

I am trying to install dotnet core on Windows Server 2016 by following instructions in:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-install-script
and it failed.

Facing this here as well.

Hello!

There is a typo in your second command, it is the reason it does not work. It should be

./dotnet-install.ps1 -Channel LTS

As for the first command, is the issue still reproducible?

Fixed swallowing the exception in the ScriptBlock, that results in meaningless error message "Exception calling invoke with 0 arguments". The initial problem does not reproduce on my machine, it might be a temporary problem with the storage. Feel free to reopen if the initial problem is still an issue.
