.Net Core (3.1.4) is used during the upgrade. If you use a newer one, you can reinstall it newer after the upgrade completes.
.Net Framework 4.8 is required for the application to function.
NOTE:
1. If newer versions of .NET Core are installed they need to be uninstalled or the upgrader errors and can be re-installed after the upgrade completes.
2. If vulnerabilities due to the version of .NET Core 3.1.32 (or older) being end of life come up, you can remove the programs.
Note: Our platform does not rely on ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core for upgrades, installs, nor the function of the application.
