    no, its for the old .net framework.

    a net 6 installation is typically just folder copy or a self extracting exe (app bundle on MacOs)

    Which part are you looking for a replacement of exactly? This namespace was built to support the installutil tool that allowed you to install things like services without the need for a formal installer program. However it was very limited because it was only available on machines that had the SDK installed which made it only useful for developers (or those willing to mess up their clean machines).

    The replacement tooling would be a formal installer program like Wix, InstallShield or Inno Setup which support all the features you'd need to replace code-based installers from this namespace.
