I have a clean Windows 10 x64 virtual machine with dotnet 5.0.2 SDK installed

I created the new project using 'dotnet new console' I edited the .csproj file changing net5 target to netcoreapp3.1 I called 'dotnet build' - its ok I called 'dotnet run' - its failed

The output is: It was not possible to find any compatible framework version The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '3.1.0' was not found. - The following frameworks were found: 5.0.2 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

You can resolve the problem by installing the specified framework and/or SDK.

Does the net5 is back compatible with netcoreapp3 ?

    You will need to install .net core 3.1 to fix issue. You can multiple versions of .net core installed on your computer
