Hi I am trying to install the Elastic APM.AspNetCore package, but I get the following error:

**Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State**  
**Error Could not install package 'Elastic.Apm.AspNetCore 1.11.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.**

Elastic.Apm.AspNetCore nuget package is not compatible with .NET Framework 4.6. It's a package to instrument [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Core and it's compatible with (at current time of writing):

- .NET Core that implements .NET Standard 2.0
- .NETCoreApp 3.0
- .NET 5.0

An [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) Full Framework application running on at least .NET Framework 4.6.1 can be instrumented with [Elastic.Apm.AspNetFullFramework nuget package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Elastic.Apm.AspNetFullFramework/). Please see [the documentation for how to configure in the application.](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/setup-asp-dot-net.html)
