Hi

I'm following the win32/64 guide from the very beginning on a fresh win10 VM. I'm basically at the top, but I hit an error. In chap 2.2.2 I'm issuing the choco command to install visualstudio. The installation fails because dotnetfx fails. I've found this error message:

The .NET Framework 4.8 is not supported on this operating system.

The documentation doesn't say anything about incompatibilities with .NET. How can I fix it (I guess installing .NET by myself?)?

Should we document something since this is a generalized problem, or it's just mine?

Naima is online.

It seems that MS no longer install the .Net framework by default, it's an additional option.  See the MS page on this issue here:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/on-windows-10 

The choco package "dotnetfx"  will install this:  https://chocolatey.org/packages/dotnetfx 

Arguably it should be a dependency for the VS choco packages, and it is listed for the VS 2019 community package.  Not sure what's gone wrong for you here.
