I'm chatting with choco maintainers right now. They say it sounds like a fresh win10 install will fail with dotnetfx because M$ now requires anniversary edition to install dotnet. They say:

I don't quite follow you here, the link below states that the .Net framework is pre-installed with Windows 10 and list the versions.  It seems that 1703 was the first to come with 4.7 pre-installed.

What Win 10 version are you using?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/get-started/system-requirements

THis is kind of also mentioned in the package description

Supported Windows Client versions: Windows 10 version 1903, Windows 10 version 1809, Windows 10 version 1803, Windows 10 version 1709, Windows 10 version 1703, Windows 10 version 1607, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 SP1

1607 being the anniversary edition

I'm trying to make my system up2date and then install dotnet. if I succeed, I'll drop a line in the documentation about installing on an updated windows version, or a more detailed description of the issue.

Hi

I'm following the win32/64 guide from the very beginning on a fresh win10 VM. I'm basically at the top, but I hit an error. In chap 2.2.2 I'm issuing the choco command to install visualstudio. The installation fails because dotnetfx fails. I've found this error message:

The .NET Framework 4.8 is not supported on this operating system.

The documentation doesn't say anything about incompatibilities with .NET. How can I fix it (I guess installing .NET by myself?)?

Should we document something since this is a generalized problem, or it's just mine?

Naima is online.

It seems that MS no longer install the .Net framework by default, it's an additional option.  See the MS page on this issue here:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/on-windows-10 

The choco package "dotnetfx"  will install this:  https://chocolatey.org/packages/dotnetfx 

Arguably it should be a dependency for the VS choco packages, and it is listed for the VS 2019 community package.  Not sure what's gone wrong for you here.
