Can ArcGIS Pro 3.1 and 3.2 run on .NET 8?

[ljlopez]

Could you please confirm whether ArcGIS Pro 3.1 and 3.2 can run on a machine with .NET 8 (no .NET 6 installed)? Thanks

From the archived help ....

This is the required version... anything beyond that is "inconsequential"

ArcGIS Pro 3.2 system requirements—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Software Minimum requirement
Microsoft .NET

Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0.5 or a later patch release (6.0.6 and so on), using a Windows x64 installer, is required. The presence of Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 7 or later is inconsequential.

inconsequential means ArcGIS Pro 3.1. and 3.2 will not run without .Net Desktop Runtime 6.0.x. It ignores, does not use, .Net 8.

[RichardDaniels]

NO, you must have .Net Desktop Runtime 6.0.5 or later (in the .Net 6 family) loaded on your computer with ArcGIS Pro 3.1 and 3.2. ArcGIS Pro 3.3 was a breaking change when they moved to .Net Desktop Runtime 8.
