When tried to install .Net core using the powershell command and also the set up directly, it's showing some .NET dependency error. I was wondering if I could use this .NET Core without installing .NET 4.0 components.

Can .Net core can be installed in systems with .NET framework < 4.0 ?!

Thanks in advance

What I have tried:

When tried to install .Net core using the powershell command:

Objective-C

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "&{$Branch='dev';iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/dev/dnvminstall.ps1'))}"

The command prompt returned an error:

C#

<pre lang="C#">
&#39;&lt;i&gt;Version v4.0.30319 of the .NET Framework is not installed and it is required to run version 3 of Windows Powershell&lt;/i&gt;&#39;
&lt;pre lang=&quot;C#&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;

I tried to install the exe directly but its also returning the .NET v4.0.30319 dependency error:

Objective-C

To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework:  v4.0.30319

Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework.

This blog says that .NET 4.0 is must to install .NET Core.

Please advice.

Please do what the messages tell you.

Thanks Richard, that means, .Net Core can't be installed in systems with .Net framework < 4.0.*, correct?

Sorry, I don't understand the question. But the message says you cannot run PowerShell 3 unless you have .NET 4 installed.

I also tried using the exe also (as mentioned in the question). Its also returning the exception:

'To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v4.0.30319

Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework'

So, my question is: Can we not install the .Net Core in machines with >NET F/W less than 4.0 ?

What does that have to do with the problem? This is nothing to do with .NET Core (and I am not sure what that means), it is to do with running PowerShell, as clearly stated in the error message.
