Coconet will not install on Win11

Coconet will not install on Win11. Fails consistently with the XNA 3.5 framework. Not played Coconet since Win11 arrived.

Come on, open source it so we can fix it or fix the installation process yourself SOON!.

I have to keep a Windows 7 system running just to run Coconet.

I'd love to keep playing on Win11, too!

EDIT:
Coconet continued to work work on one of my laptops that was upgraded from Win10, not on a fresh Win11 install. BUT it can be played in a virtual machine. I succeeded with VirtualBox and a windows 10 64bit installation. Guest Additions must be installed and adequate resources given, like 8GB RAM and 8 cpu kernels. I had to additionally check the .net option in the coconet installer and have a couple of minutes patience until it finished (it appeared to hang but did not).
I even got a network game to run in a local network of two Win11 machines, each running a VirtualBox Win10. The VirtualBox network has to be switched to network bridge, then both coconet instances can find each other.
If anyone needs help you an write me at froese@gemini-sites.de since this forum unfortunately does not send notifications for new entries.
