More than one version of .NET Framework can be installed on a Windows PC

[varnk]

Type of issue

Typo

Description

The documentation states the following, "Side-by-side installation isn't possible with .NET Framework. It's a Windows component, and only one version can exist on a machine at a time: each version of .NET Framework replaces the previous version. If you install a new app that targets a later version of .NET Framework, you might break existing apps that run on the machine because the previous version was replaced."

This seems incorrect. I have installed multiple versions of .NET Framework on a Windows PC. I think this needs to be clarified better.
