The runtime includes everything you need to run existing .NET Core and ASP.NET Core applications
This release has reached end of life, meaning it is no longer supported. We recommend moving to a supported release, such as .NET Core 3.1 Runtime. See our support policy for more details.
Want to run an app that uses .NET Core on your Windows computer? Install both the .NET Core Runtime and the .NET Core Desktop Runtime.
Are you a system administrator wanting to deploy .NET Core and/or ASP.NET Core applications on a server?
The ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle includes the .NET Core runtime and ASP.NET Core runtime. If installed on a machine with IIS it will also add the ASP.NET Core IIS Module.
