Well, the required version is 3.1.4. Yet it compiled requiring 3.1.6 because that is the most recent 3.1.X installed. So the downgrade you might be thinking of is going to 3.0 which is no longer supported. Or 2.1 which doesn't have access to some of the features I'm using in C# 8.

You can downgrade the version of core required in the project. Either way, you have to supply that in your installer. Your clients probably won't have it on thier machines. I'd consider using the M$ one because it will bring in the correct bootstraping you'll need. I only do web installs and not systems that use a forms based UI.
