Issue/Introduction
While upgrading the Console to Network Flow Analysis 22.2.3 or higher you may run into a prompt requiring Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8:
Environment
Component: Network Flow Analysis 22.2.3+
Cause
Starting in NFA 22.2.3 we will only support .NET Framework 4.8. Please see the compatibility matrix here:
Compatibility Matrix (broadcom.com)
The NFA_check_2128.zip will not be able to install this as this package does not exist on the currently supported versions of Microsoft Windows Server (2012, 2016, or 2019). So manually downloading the package is the only option at this time.
Resolution
Please download the Microsoft offline installer for .NET Framework 4.8.0:

This only needs to be installed on the NFA Console Server.
Additional Information
An update to .net Framework 4.8.1 is available:
