Is It Possible to Run Contrast .NET and .NET Core Agents on the Same Server?

Question

Is it possible to run Contrast .NET and .NET Core agents on the same server?

Answer

Yes. For environments that use both .NET Framework and .NET Core, it is possible to run both agents on the same server.

By default, .NET Framework will install into C:\ProgramData\Contrast\dotnet\ and .NET Core will install into C:\ProgramData\Contrast\dotnet-core\.

For .Net Core agents prior to v1.0.2 running on IIS, there may be a conflict due to the .NET Core agent using environment variables set by an existing .NET Framework agent. If you use an older .NET Core agent, it should be updated to ensure that the Core-specific environment variables are used.
