In the past, I have used the following command to install MVC 3 using chocolaty in the dockerfile without issue. For some reason, I started getting the 404 not found message. I think the package itself contains an improper exe path. Assuming the package is no longer maintained, how can I install MVC 3? For the record, I have tried installing the exe using PowerShell and CURL, but none of them have been successful. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Choco website with command: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/aspnetmvc.install
Minimal DockerFile:
# escape=`

Microsoft have moved the remote file since the package was last pushed, some years ago.
The file does still seem to be present here, though Microsoft do change this sort of thing every so often (for context, the package was last updated in 2014).
You can create a version of the package with that URL instead and use it from a local repository, create a version of the package with the EXE included inside, or replicate the installation logic in your Dockerfile.
That said, there's now an updated version of the package on the repository. You can specify installing it by calling choco install aspnetmvc.install --version=3.1.0.20231130, or wait for it to be approved at which point it will be installed in the way you are currently using.
As a note, the aspnetmvc package says this:
ASP.NET MVC - This package has been deprecated in favor of aspnetmvc.install
You could modify your dockerfile to the following:
RUN choco install aspnetmvc.install --confirm
