to be clear- you are saying it is side by side with netcore31?

Yeah. I guess it depends on how it gets installed, but there’s absolutely nothing preventing it from running side-by-side.

I’ve been hot-swapping 3.1 and 5.0-rc2 for projects, preparing for the final 5.0 release.

so, i see 4 different runtime installs (base/aspnet/aspnet-hosting/desktop) here https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/5.0... .

where can i find instructions for doing a side by side install? thanks

This link has clearer instructions on what to install: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0

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.

Every version of .NET Core has always installed side-by-side with previous versions. There's no way to avoid it.

perfect, ty.
