Hi To get this script working in dotnet core when deploying the bot as a dll (normally running dotnet bot.dll), use the following amendment: $process = Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App\1.1.2\dotnet.exe" -ArgumentList "path to bot\<bot>.dll" -PassThru -WorkingDirectory "path to bot" -Wait Notes: * the -NoNewWindow switch causes an error * you specify your bot dll in the ArgumentList * not sure if the -WorkingDirectory is necessary but it can't hurt * adding "$(Get-Date) Restarting..."; seemed helpful too. Hope this helps!
