What are you seeing?

We are using the Azure DevOps GitVersion tasks in a pipeline running on a self-hosted windows build agent.

          - task: gitversion/setup@3
            inputs:
              versionSpec: "5.x"

          - task: gitversion/execute@3
            inputs:
              targetPath: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/energyPRO

The install succeds:

Finishing: Calculate Build Version

When looking at the file system on the agent, the folder "C:\a_tool\GitVersion.Tool\5.12.0" only contains a folder called "x64" and a file called "x64.complete". The x64 folder contains the dotnet-gitversion.exe

Reverting to the v2 of the setup and execute tasks seems to fix the issue.

What is expected?

That GitVersion can be found in the expected folder after install.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a pipeline with the tasks above on a x64 server.

For what it's worth, I'm also having this problem on Linux agents.

@RasmusAaen I see there is this

Found tool [email protected] at C:\a_tool\GitVersion.Tool\5.12.0

Can you remove the C:\a_tool\GitVersion.Tool and then in the setup set preferLatestVersion: true
