How is that we can install .net3.5 framework and .net4.7 framework by enabling it as a feature in Server Manager on Windows Server 2019.

But how come all the in between versions(4.5,4.6) and rest are not compatible with Windows Server 2019?

    You can't do that on Server 2019 because the feature level is already at the 4.7 version. 4.7 is simply an in-place update to the 4.x versions so there isn't a reason to. If you installed an app targeted to .Net 4.5 on Server 2019 it should still run fine.

    What problem are you trying to solve? The 4.x > 0 versions are all in-place updates to 4.x.

    If I don’t enable 4.7 version, can I then install 4.5.1 and 4.6 versions manually on 2019?

    No, you could not.

    Also how’s that the below URL speaks about 3.5 not compatible with server 2019 but still we see the option to enable it?
