.net 5? #45

Closed dg107 closed 2 years ago

dg107 commented 2 years ago

Can you add .net 5 to the supported framework versions?

mansellan commented 2 years ago

For pre-requisites installation? If so then yes, that should be easy enough. The only possible snag could be that Microsoft are still regularly patching .net 5, whereas the pre-requisite specifications are "burnt into" the extension (static XML files).

If I added the current .net 5 runtime, but didn't update it every patch, would that suffice?

I was just trying to figure out how to use clickonce and dev ops with a .net 5 desktop project. I finally gave up on it and set up an inno installer and wrote my own update mechanism to download and launch the installer when a new version is available.

OK, sorry to hear you had problems. This is a standard use-case and should "just work". I have several .net 5 desktop apps set up in Azure DevOps, so it's disappointing it didn't work for you.

Closing issue as you've gone with Inno, but thanks for reporting.
