Does 4.5.1/4.5.2 replace 4.5?

Question

I have created an vNext app and want to deploy it on a Windows 2008 R2 server. For this I must install 4.5.1/4.5.2.

I want to know what issues can this cause? Does 4.5.1/4.5.2 replace 4.5? Can the system choose between 4.5.x and 4.5?

Answer 1

It directly overwrites the 4.5 libraries, so yeah, it's a direct replacement. The two can't really coexist together without some hacks.

And since 4.5.1/2 bring breaking changes, you should really do some testing before committing to the change.
