kitzy 5fa8a0a9ea Add Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 10 as a Windows FMA (#50361)
**Related issue:** Resolves #50360

Adds Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 10 as a Windows Fleet-maintained
app, from winget `Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.10` (10.0.10, WiX burn
bundle, x64).

This closes the gap opened by HandBrake (#50323 / #50352). HandBrake
requires the .NET **Desktop** Runtime and its install script now
hard-fails without it, but Fleet had no FMA that could satisfy that — we
ship `microsoft-dotnet-runtime-8`/`-10`, which are the *base* runtime, a
different package with its own Add/Remove Programs entry. The customer's
ManageEngine catalog also deploys the Desktop Runtime directly.

## Verification

The winget manifest supplies `AppsAndFeaturesEntries`, and I confirmed
each value against the real installer by extracting the burn bundle's
registration data:

```
Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 10.0.10 (x64)
Publisher="Microsoft Corporation"
Version="10.0.10.50000"
```

- Installer SHA confirmed against a local download (`e82fc901…84d1`).
- The `DisplayName` carries both version and architecture, so the exists
query uses the same `LIKE 'Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 10.%' AND
name LIKE '%(x64)'` shape as the existing base-runtime FMAs.
- The bundle exposes several ProductCodes (the bundle plus its MSI
components), which is exactly the shape the existing uninstall script
already documents and handles.

**`use_display_version_for_patch` is required here.** The registry
`DisplayVersion` is `10.0.10.50000` but the winget package version is
`10.0.10`. Without the flag the patch policy would compare against the
marketing version and mis-order against what osquery reports. The
generated patched query correctly compares against `10.0.10.50000`.

## Reuse rather than duplication

- **Scripts:** this reuses `microsoft_dotnet_runtime_install.ps1` /
`_uninstall.ps1` unchanged. The Desktop Runtime is the same burn bundle
shape, and the uninstaller already resolves the bundle from the injected
`$PACKAGE_ID` with a Package Cache fallback. Those scripts are already
shared by the two base-runtime FMAs, so this follows the existing
pattern rather than adding a near-identical copy.
- **Icon:** reuses the existing `MicrosoftDotnetRuntime` component and
its `.NET` artwork. The burn bundle only carries a 32×32 icon, so
extracting one would have meant shipping a blurry upscale of the same
logo.

The new map key is `"microsoft .net desktop runtime"` (no version). Icon
lookup is a loose *prefix* match — `s === key || s.startsWith(key + "
")` — so one key covers 10 and any future major, mirroring how
`"microsoft .net runtime"` already serves both base-runtime FMAs. It is
longer than that key, and lookup sorts longest-first, so the desktop
runtime cannot be mis-matched to the base runtime icon.

Fleet frontend

The Fleet frontend is a Single Page Application using React with Typescript and Hooks.

Table of contents

Running the Fleet web app

For details instruction on building and serving the Fleet web application consult the Contributing documentation.

Testing

Visit the overview of Fleet UI testing for more information on our testing strategy, philosophies, and tools.

To run unit or integration tests in ComponentName.tests.tsx, run yarn test -- ComponentName.tests.tsx. To test all Javascript components run yarn test.

QA Wolf manages our E2E test and will maintain the tests as well as raise any issues found from these tests. Engineers should not have to worry about working with E2E testing code or raising issues themselves.

For more information on how our front-end tests work, visit our frontend test directory.

Directory structure

Component directories in the Fleet front-end application encapsulate the entire component, including files for the component and its styles. The typical directory structure for a component is as follows:

└── ComponentName
  ├── _styles.scss
  ├── ComponentName.tsx
  |-- ComponentName.tests.tsx
  ├── index.ts
  • _styles.scss: The component css styles
  • ComponentName.tsx: The React component
  • ComponentName.tests.tsx: The React component unit/integration tests
  • index.ts: Exports the React component
    • This file is helpful as it allows other components to import the component by it's directory name. Without this file the component name would have to be duplicated during imports (components/ComponentName vs. components/ComponentName/ComponentName).

components

The component directory contains global React components rendered by pages, receiving props from their parent components to render data and handle user interactions.

context

The context directory contains the React Context API pattern for various entities. Only entities that are needed across the app has a global context. For example, the logged in user (currentUser) has multiple pages and components where its information is pulled.

interfaces

Files in the interfaces directory are used to specify the Typescript interface for a reusable Fleet entity. This is designed to DRY up the code and increase re-usability. These interfaces are imported in to component files and implemented when defining the component's props.

Additionally, local interfaces are used for props of local components.

layouts

The Fleet application has only 1 layout, the Core Layout. The Layout is rendered from the router and are used to set up the general app UI (header, sidebar) and render child components. The child components rendered by the layout are typically page components.

pages

Page components are React components typically rendered from the router. React Router passed props to these pages in case they are needed. Examples include the router, location, and params objects.

router

The router directory is where the react router lives. The router decides which component will render at a given URL. Components rendered from the router are typically located in the pages directory. The router directory also holds a paths file which holds the application paths as string constants for reference throughout the app. These paths are typically referenced from the App Constants object.

services

CRUD functions for all Fleet entities (e.g. report) that link directly to the Fleet API.

styles

The styles directory contains the general app style setup and variables. It includes variables for the app color hex codes, fonts (families, weights and sizes), and padding.

templates

The templates directory contains the HTML file that renders the React application via including the bundle.js and bundle.css files. The HTML page also includes the HTML element in which the React application is mounted.

test

The test directory includes test helpers, API request mocks, and stubbed data entities for use in test files. See the UI testing documentation for more on test helpers, stubs, and request mocks.

utilities

The utilities directory contains re-usable functions and constants for use throughout the application. The functions include helpers to convert an array of objects to CSV, debounce functions to prevent multiple form submissions, format API errors, etc.

Patterns

The list of patterns used in the Fleet UI codebase can be found in patterns.md.

Storybook

Storybook is a tool to document and visualize components, and we use it to capture our global components used across Fleet. Storybook is key when developing new features and testing components before release. It runs a separate server exposed on port 6006. To run this server, do the following:

  • Go to your root fleet project directory
  • Run make deps
  • Run yarn storybook

The URL localhost:6006 should automatically show in your browser. If not, visit it manually.

Running Storybook before implementing new UI elements can clarify if new components need to be created or already exist. When creating a component, you can create a new file, component.stories.tsx, within its directory. Then, fill it with the appropriate Storybook code to create a new Storybook entry. You will be able to visualize the component within Storybook to determine if it looks and behaves as expected.
