.net 4.5.2 Offline Installer
Billie Kjergaard
I am running the .NET 3.5 offline installer on windows 8.1 from Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 (Full Package) . Though, when I run this exe, it still prompts me to install from windows update. The same thing happens with the pre-service pack installer.
I was unable to DISM for this because the sxs folder diddnt exist on my 8.1 DVD so I did a search and found the update on the DVD, its under \support\framework_3.5\I ran that and it updated it, works fine.Brian.
Microsoft released the final version of the .NET Framework 4.8 on April 18, 2019. The new version is available as both web installer and offline installer. Since Microsoft prefers distribution via the web installer, it is difficult to find working offline installer links.
The .NET Framework is offered as web and offline installers. The core difference is that the web installer requires an active Internet connection during installation as it needs to download components from Microsoft servers.
Use this link to download the official .NET Framework 4.8 Language Packs for offline installation. The language packs include translated error messages and user interface text; the text is displayed in English if no language pack is installed.
The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 is a new version of Microsoft's popular framework. It includes new features, fixes, and improvements compared to previous versions.
Microsoft released the .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10, and all server platforms starting with Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (means Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 are supported as well).
The changelog on the Microsoft Docs website highlights new features and changes in the new release. The log is quite technical in nature and intended for programmers who use the framework more than it is for Windows users and administrators who install it.
New features in .NET Framework 4.8 include high-DPI improvements such as improved support for Windows Forms interoperation in high-DPI WMF applications on platforms that support mixed-mode DPI scaling or support for Per-Monitor V2 DPI Awareness.
Another batch of Microsoft disk-clutter and complexity. Why? So programs may call some functions if programmers want to use it rather than write their own. It all means more complexity, more potential security risks and more patching. Where does it end!
I have tried to install just some of the other components that are available and am getting the same result. It does not matter if I run as local admin, administrator or my domain account the check always fails
/notests fixed it for me. Its the first time I've seen that switch mentioned anywhere. Definitely one to make a note of for future as I've had problems in the past where tests have failed when they should have passed.
I'm having this same issue with Solarwinds-Orion-HotFix-2018.2-OfflineInstaller.exe. In this case the server HAS an internet connection (I can get to all the SW pages, etc.) but still cries that it needs an Internet connection.
Before I try /notests to see if it works, after the point where the installer does the checks, is there one more click available to start the installer? I'd like to see if the switch works today as a preflight check, but don't have approval for installation today. I don't want to run this just for preflight check and have it just start the installation if run with /notests. Thanks.
Just to confirm I today had the same issue with the Offline installer coming up telling me I didn't have internet access and to download the offline installer. This was a customer upgrade, who were going from NPM12.0 to NPM12.3. As they didn't have Svr 2016 I couldn't use the Online installer as it takes you to 12.4. Even the linked OfflineInstaller downloads 12.4.
I downloaded the 12.3 Offline installer, and ran it with /notests - This worked correctly, and it still gave me the option to select the NTA Version (Go to NTA4.4 or stay on NTA 4.2.3) and it also warned me about WPM Players and Domain Account, but otherwise seemed to work fine.
While the notests flag will work, there is a good chance that you will have issues later. I found out from support that this happens when files are prereqs missing as part of the installer. If you contact support they will help you find what components are missing. In my case it was sqlcli_x64 and sqlcli_x86.
@Yoann same issue here. Clean install of Windows Server 2019 latest build, install .NET Framework offline installer 4.8, reboot and boom. Many native control panels, like Server Manager, requesting some 4.0.... version of .NET framework instead, failing to load.
I had the same issue and received zero help or support from Microsoft. Dell support googled and read back to me everything I had googled and tried already. Importing the above registry information fixed it without a reboot.
@DavidSherrill This is the exact fix! For us, our RMM tool stopped working on a server 2019 standard server. It's services wouldn't start. Event Viewer complained about .net. Also server manager wouldn't open with the exact message you mentioned. Applying this fixed it all. thanks!!
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND! THANK YOU! THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT WORKED! Every other solution I've googled of this problem has been some variation of "turn net framework on/off in the "turn windows features on or off" app" or "reinstall the newest version of .net" or "did you try restarting your computer?" (OF COURSE I TRIED RESTARTING MY COMPUTER!! DO THEY THINK I'M AN INFANT??)
Please excuse my novice status displayed in this question, but does one simply copy/paste the text in your registry update file, and does the resulting text file require the line number entries as displayed in your post?
It asks me to download the .net stuff, So I do that and install both the x64 and x86 versions. But Launchbox keeps asking me to install them when I already did that. I even checked to see if I downloaded the correct version number and it's 3.1.0.
Also, here's a link to the correct .NET Core installer. You'll need to choose .NET Desktop Runtime 3.1.21, the x64 version (more than likely, although it may be worth finding out whether you have x86 or x64 version of Windows).
No. I've tried reinstalling, but whatever dependencies it needs is simply not being installed for some reason. I have also tried installing 3.1.21 but that doesn't work either. I use 64 bit windows 10, but I installed both versions just to be sure. Launchbox still insists that these are not installed.
I would try running Command Prompt as Administrator and running "/sfc scannow" (Without quotes) and letting it run then restarting your computer. Sounds like the OS data that tells us you have the runtime installed has been corrupted or isn't working correctly. That process should correct.
Hi, I'm having this same issue. Launchbox claims it needs ".NET Core 3.1".
I have installed:
- .net framework 4.8
- .net desktop runtime 3.1.x
- .net runtime 3.1.x
- ASP .net Core 3.1.x
I see this dialog when I install Lanchbox 12.5. I did not try other versions, but if I go back to LB 10.1, I think it actually works. I would double check that, but...
When I followed @C-Beats suggestion (which I think has a typo; the '/' should precede 'scannow'), the process said it found and fixed errors. I rebooted my system and the explorer.exe process will launch, eat up 6 GB of RAM, crash, relaunch, and repeat. Didn't expect this!
I just reinstalled the OS (Win7) on this tonight, so starting over again is not a big deal, but if you have an suggestions about fixing the .NET Core 3.1 issue please share. What else could be the cause of the issue? Why does LB 12.5 need this, but 10.x doesn't?
Thank you for your reply.
That's good to know! What, then, is .NET Core?
Is it ASP .NET Core? Or .NET Framework, .NET Runtime, or .NET Desktop Runtime?
Those are all listed beneath the only link on Microsofts site that refers to anything named ".NET Core", and there is no individual download with that name. I have installed *all* of the distributables in that section, both specified versions and latest versions, of the site except the SDK itself.
Sorry I have to rely on this community to clear up Microsofts messes, but this also seems to be clearly a bug with Launchbox. Even if I let Launchbox automatically download the version it says it needs, the issue still persists after installing that version (which is almost certainly the same among those I've installed manually).
I am running this on Win7x4 on an HP TouchSmart 610-1130y. OS was freshly installed. The system is a dedicated MAME machine.
Thank you for any additional help you can give.
I'm going to bump this since it was never actually fixed. I got my system up and running with LB v10.1 again, but there are still issues with that situation that would be resolved by installing a later version of the software. In order to do that, I need to figure out the problem with its recognition of its own requirements.
