The possible reason for this error would be that I already have a newer version of DotnetRuntime5, and the installer is not able to detect it and tries to install an older version.

Workaround:
Personally I would have just switched the v0.55.1 installer to the new one. But it-s too late for that.
Hope is today!
Looks like our installer is too aggressive with requirements, this should have worked. @yuyoyuppe should be an easy fix, no?
@sajjad4499 that installer is for the ARM64 processor. Excellent chance you have an x64 processor
if you can open a new issue with that log file, that would be helpful
I successfully installed the new release. Thanks for the quick fix!
new release means new build number
