Batu69 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Microsoft announced earlier this year that it would end support for the Microsoft .Net Framework 4, 4.5 and 4.5.1 on January 12, 2016. End of support means that these .Net versions won't receive security updates, technical support or hotfixes anymore. The discontinuation of support won't affect the following versions of the framework: 3.5, 4.5.2, 4.6 and 4.6.1. Unlike previously released versions of the .Net Framework, these supported versions are defined as components instead of independent products by Microsoft. Components are supported for the lifecycle of the operating system they are available for which means that the listed .Net versions that are still supported by Microsoft after January 12, 2016 are supported for as long as the underlying version of Windows is supported. Supported .Net versions running on a system with Windows Vista will be supported until April 11, 2017 for instance, while the same versions are supported until October 14, 2025 on systems running Windows 10. System administrators and end users need to ensure that a supported version of the .Net Framework is installed on devices they manage or use. In most cases, this means updating the .Net Framework 4.x to version 4.5.2, 4.6 or 4.6.1. Determining the .Net Framework version The Windows Registry reveals which version of the .Net Framework is installed on a computer system. Tap on the Windows-key, type regedit and hit enter. Confirm the UAC prompt if it is displayed. This should open the Windows Registry Editor. Navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full Locate the release key on the right, and check its value against the table below Value of the Release DWORD Version 378389 .NET Framework 4.5 378675 .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed with Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 378758 .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on Windows 8, Windows 7 SP1, or Windows Vista SP2 379893 .NET Framework 4.5.2 393295 (Windows 10) or 393297 (All other OS versions) .NET Framework 4.6 394256 .NET Framework 4.6.1 System administrators and users find downloads for supported versions of the Microsoft .Net Framework on the following sites (offline installers only). .Net Framework 4.5.2 .Net Framework 4.6 .Net Framework 4.6.1 End users can run the installer on their system to update the framework to the selected version. All available versions will be supported by Microsoft until the operating system reaches its end of support. Additional information about the move, including changes in newer versions of the .Net Framework that may impact applications and code, are provided on the official Microsoft Dotnet blog linked in the first paragraph of this article.

eXentios Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Instead of using windows registry it’s easier to use ASoft .NET Version Detector, you may find it here: http://www.asoft.be/prod_netver.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 12 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Nice tool,but it does not detect the 4.6.1-version ! It goes until 4.6 and it does not "see" the versions above ( latest ) btw, I see value of the release ;394271 with version 4.6.01055 in my registry........... I think its absolutely latest !

Holmes Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 You can go into add and remove programs to and it shows what version you have and if you have older versions not sure about the older versions. Go to control panel and click on programs and features if you have large or small icons selected and if you have category view selected look at programs and uninstall a program in windows seven (I think its the same for windows eight and ten not sure).

Purple Trail Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The NET Framework included with Windows is not present as a program to uninstall in Control Panel, but you can find it as a Windows feature. On Windows 7 with all updates installed it shows up as v3.5.1. Unless you have apps/games that require v4.x there is no reason to install it as long as it's still being supported and receiving security updates. Some programs provide separate versions depending on what NET Framework you have installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 12 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 You are wrong my friend , look here; as you can see its version 4.6.1 , and its in the control panel listed as installed program........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Trail Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 You haven't really paid attention when reading my comment. I was referring to v3.5 that comes preinstalled (included) with Windows 7, while you have 4.6.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XmYthZ Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 .NET Framework 4.6.1 official offline installer is 64.5 MB in size but if you extract it using 7-zip, it unpacks to 1.90 GB!!!! Surprisingly, my processor compresses it back to 260 MB approx only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
