Start by updating the list of repository packages:

sudo apt update

When this is done, run the update command:

sudo apt dist-upgrade

Follow any instructions and wait for the Pi update. When you’re done, type in:

sudo apt clean

This will delete unnecessary files that were uploaded during the update. Finish by restarting:

sudo reboot

When your Raspberry Pi is restarted, you will use the latest version of Raspbian.

If the application is targeting multiple frameworks e.g. NET Core 2.1 and .NET Framework 4.6.1, you will need to install Hosting Bundle for it. Here is how;

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/2.1

Restart your IIS box.

Make sure App poll is using v4.0 of .NET CLR version.

This will also help to solve this error;

IIS: Handler “aspNetCore” has a bad module “AspNetCoreModuleV2” in its module list

.Net Framework 4.5 was installed on my machine and on the IIS Application Pool, I set the .NET CLR version to 4.0.

The AppPool’s .NET CLR Version is different from the .NET Framework Version.

The AppPool’s .NET CLR Version is different from the .NET Framework Version.

The .NET CLR Version 4.0 is the CLR base for the following .NET Framework Versions:

• 4
• 4.5 (including 4.5.1 and 4.5.2)
• 4.6 (including 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 Preview)

So having a .NET CLR Version of 4.0 just means you support the above Frameworks, which will run under their deployed framework version.

Here is a full mapping of CLR to .NET Framework versions, based off this official documentation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/versions-and-dependencies#version-information
