Affected Products:
Dell Optimizer
Affected Versions:
v4.2v4.1.353v4.1.3
The Microsoft .NET v6.0.20 installer is packaged as part of the DO installer.
The DO installer extracts and runs the .NET 6 installer when the install .NET 6 install option is selected. Doing so installs .NET 6.0.20 even when newer versions of .NET 6 are on the computer.
Cause
Due to an issue in its installer, the version of .NET 6 carried by Dell Optimizer still installs the older version of.NET 6 when newer versions are already installed.
Resolution
Install Dell Optimizer 4.2.1 or later (release date to be determined), which carries a newer version of the .NET 6 installer which does not have the issue present.
Note: Dell Technologies updates this article as information becomes available.
Alternately, the installation of .NET 6 can be skipped when installing Dell Optimizer. Reference to the Dell Optimizer User Guide for more information.
