How To Install Net Framework 4.0 V 30319 Windows 7 Offline
Mirtha Hinrichs
I was trying to test our products to make sure that they are compatible with Windows Server 2016. And during some testing, I mistakenly thought that I can simply "downgrade" .NET framework from 4.6 to 4. So I removed .NET 4.6 from Roles and from IIS.
Now, I can't install it back using installer (because its part of OS so it is asking me to enable it from role & features). And I can't start server manager (to install role & features) because it needs .Net 4 at minimum.
My problem:On Windows Server 2016, the .NET Framework 4.6 had been inadvertently uninstalled from my system while trying to fix some issues with IIS. It was removed using the Server Manager > Remove Roles and Features.
As a result, the Power Shell, Server Manager, and Event Viewer were no longer working. So I downloaded and installed the latest offline version of the .NET Framework 4.7 from Microsoft using the installer. However, it did not fix the problem when installed by clicking on the installer.
SolutionTo fix the problem, I had to install it from the command line using the "/all" switch. I unzipped the installer to a folder and here is the command that I used to install it. In the last argument in quotes is the path to the installer, which will need to be modified based on where you have the installer unzipped:
NET Framework 4.0.030319 was installed offline in Windows Server 2016 Standard due to the needs of the project. The installation program dotnetfx40_full_x86_x64.exe, but the installation failed

I installed .NET Framework 4.8 on a Windows Server 2016 using this link .NET 4.8 offline installer]1. And although everything seems to be going well, when I check the windows features it does not appear installed and 4.6 is displayed. Please, could you tell me what I do wrong?
@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?
