Maybe you need to check the .NET version installed and if it is below a certain version, go install it. When upgrading to 2203LTSR VDA, you have to have 4.8 installed as a prerequisite. This will create a PSSession and remove it when it is done. In your upgrade.txt file, use the FQDN of the target machines. .NET installs seem to take a bit to complete, so be patient in it upgrading. Using the [System.Version] lets you compare major, minor, build, and revision so you can get more granular with checking versions in your test cases.
# Script to check if version is below 4.8 .NET and install 4.8 .NET if so. This requires running from an account that has admin on the destination and also a reboot to complete update.
# Tested on Server 2016 and 2019.
