is this an in-place update to the netcore3.1 runtime or does it install side by side for net5.0? just want to know what kind of risk it is to install. i got bit by the netfx48 in place update.
It’s effectively .Net Core 4.0, but they removed the “core” and versioned it 5.0 to make it more obvious that it supersedes and obsoletes .Net Framework 4.8 which lots of organizations are still clinging to.
I’ve been hot-swapping 3.1 and 5.0-rc2 for projects, preparing for the final 5.0 release.
where can i find instructions for doing a side by side install? thanks
Just download the versions you want and install them all. Also keep in mind if you're doing actual development you need the SDK, not just the runtime.
