• powershell
• -4.8
• -framework-version
• chocolatey
• windows-server-2022

• The dotnetfx package has 4.8.1 available, but it's currently marked as a prerelease (community.chocolatey./packages/dotnetfx/4.8.1.0-rtw). You can install it in a PowerShell script with choco install dotnetfx --pre. That said, this question isn't fantastic for this SO site. – James Ruskin Commented Nov 20, 2024 at 10:20
• winget install Microsoft.DotNet.Framework.DeveloperPack_4 --version 4.8.1, but note that this involves downloading an offline installer and executing it locally behind the scenes. – mklement0 Commented Nov 20, 2024 at 12:40
