Hello Microsoft ,
Looking forward to working with .NET 5.0 but we also need to know how to block the installation on those application servers where its not supported.
Is the registry key to block it, “BlockNetFrameWork50” and set the value to “1” ?

Hi,@SamT
To block .net instaillation, you can check this link.
Or you can also specify the version of .NET that you want your project to target: visual-studio-multi-targeting-overview.
Hello Jerry,
That might be funny if it wasn't so sad.
The article you referenced refers to .NET 4.5.1 not .NET 5.0 which is the question here.
How do you block the installation of .NET 5.0.?
I will stay tuned for your answer.
Hi,@SamT , if you do not mean use .net5.0 and .net3.1.etc at the same time, you can just uninstall the .net 5.0.
That might be funny if it wasn't so sad.
We need to know how to block the installation of .NET 5.0 on those application servers where its not supported as Microsoft did with previous releases of .NET .
"Just uninstall the .net 5.0." does not block the installation of .NET 5.0 ...obviously.
We need to know how to block the installation of .NET 5.0 on Windows server as Microsoft did with previous releases of .NET .
I will stay tuned for your answer.
Hi,@SamT , If you do not want to use .net 5.0, you can just uninstall .net 5.0 related sdk. And if block installation means stop updating it, you can check Blocking .NET Core update delivery from Microsoft Update.

.NET 5.0 is Core not Framework
it's not pushed via Microsoft Update (probably never will)
you only get its updates via MU if you installed it manually
