Microsoft.net Desktop Runtime 8.0 X64 ((top)) Jun 2026

The .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0 x64 installs side-by-side with other major versions (e.g., .NET 6.0, .NET Framework 4.8). This eliminates "DLL Hell," ensuring that an application built for .NET 8.0 uses strictly .NET 8.0 binaries, while an application built for .NET 6.0 continues to function without interference.
