WCF Data Services Download Removed

I'm not sure where the right place to ask, its not SharePoint related, but it is similar to this question:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c5c50c72-eb96-4057-9baf-331b9644334a/prerequisite-wcf-data-services-56-404-not-found?forum=SP2016

I'm looking for WCF Data Services 5.0 (not 5.6) and every MS link is currently going to a 404. I can only assume this is unintentional, but I don't know where to start asking for help.

Thanks!

Hi @CSP-5216 ,Unfortunately, the official document does not provide WCF data service of version 5.0, you can use the latest version of WCF data service.

Hi @TheobaldDu-MSFT, SharePoint requires WCF 5.0. I'm able to find 5.6 and download it and install it, but the Pre Req installer and actual application installer does a reg check for WCF 5.0. Up until even last month the FW link and this one:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29306

Were up and running, but now they're both missing and I can't find any mention of it. I'm fine with doing an offline install, but I can't find a mirror for 5.0 and that's all I'd need.


Thank you!

Thank you so much! Time to grab a local copy of all of these executables.

Do you happen to know if this was inadvertent or will they be removing it permanently in the near future?

Any pre-req for a supported version of 2013 is also under active support, so it should stay up for at least as long as 2013 remains under support.

Likely caught up in the SHA-1 removals would be my guess.

Got it. Again, thank you and have a great weekend!
