Migration Notes: ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 - Beta 5 to Beta 6

Another beta is available for ASP.NET 5 MVC 6! Here are my upgrade notes to my team on the migration process from Beta 5 to Beta 6; hopefully some of them will help you in your migration, as well.

Hello Team:

We’ve been moved to beta 6! This requires a tooling update for VS, so please install the following:

  • DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi
  • WebToolsExtensionsVS14

  1. dnvm upgrade -arch x64 -r clr
  2. dnvm upgrade -arch x86 -r clr

Thanks, -Brandon
