GCM fails to install and run: .NET Framework 4.7.2 required

[CSharperMantle]

Promoting #540#issuecomment-1119112791 to a new issue.

Installation failed due to a lack of .NET Framework 4.7.2.

I have a working .NET 5 SDK & Runtime installed since I routinely do some devs on .NET 5, so I guess that's not the issue. The problem is, why does GCM say it is built on .NET but it still depends on .NET Framework?

Upgrading Windows is not an option for me because of the hardware constraints.
