Change target framework from net7.0 to net472

[amine-aboufirass]

When I run dotnet script --info here's the output I get:

Version             : 1.4.0
Install location    : C:\Users\aa\.dotnet\tools\.store\dotnet-script\1.4.0\dotnet-script\1.4.0\tools\net7.0\any
Target framework    : net7.0
.NET Core version   : 7.0.5
Platform identifier : win
Runtime identifier  : win10-x64

I would like to run my script as using net472 instead of net472 as the target framework. Is this possible?

it is not possible to run the script as net472. .NET Framework is not supported by the command line runner by design.

Dotnet.Script.Core, which is effectively the heart of donet-script is cross compiled for .NET Standard 2.0 and can be used from a .NET Framework app (or host) so it could potentially be used to manually orchestrate the script running. These tests are executed for net472 too and can provide some reference point.

@filipw How about other versions of .NET Core? Say I wanted to run code for .NET 5 or 6?
