Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run a WinForms application that requires .NET Framework 4.8.1 on a Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise VM. However, I'm encountering an error message stating that 4.8.1 isn't supported on this OS when I try installing.

I've confirmed that my VM meets the general .NET Framework requirements. Is there a workaround or a way to get .NET Framework 4.8.1 to work on Windows 10 LTSC? Alternatively, are there any recommendations for running the WinForms application in this environment?

Thanks in advance for your help!
