we have a .net framework 4.6.1 application.

Is there any way to install the APM package on it?

Sure, `4.6.1` is the oldest version we support.

If it's a web app, start [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/setup-asp-dot-net.html).

If it's not a web app [this part of the doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/setup-general.html) is relevant.

When trying to install the package(Elastic.Apm.AspNetFullFramework), it displays this error.

Error Unable to install package 'Elastic.Apm.AspNetFullFramework 1.13.0'. You are trying to install this package in a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that support this framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Are you sure your project is `4.6.1`? Isn't it maybe older? Like `4.6.0`?

Here is the package on [nuget.org](http://nuget.org), as you can see, it supports `4.6.1`.

Can you maybe test it on the same machine with a plain new `4.6.1` app?
