The Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool detects frequently occurring issues that affect Microsoft .NET Framework setup or updates. The tool tries to resolve those issues by applying known fixes or by repairing corrupted installations of the supported .NET Framework versions. The tool has an easy-to-use, wizard-based user interface (UI). It also supports command line usage together with more advanced options.
Microsoft has released the following updated version of the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool.
The tool now supports Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8, 4.7.2, 4.7.1, 4.7, and 4.6.2. Therefore, fixing and repairing are also applicable to these products.
The tool supports all the features from the previous release as-is.
Offline repair mode. Setup redistributable files that are required for repair are copied from a network share or folder path that is specified by the "/addsource" flag. This should generally be used when the tool is functioning in a disconnected or locked down environment.
Repair operation can be optionally scoped to target a set of specified product baselines. If this option is not specified, the tool will try to repair all supported .NET Framework versions installed.
The "/repair" option can also be used together with "None" value to just apply fixes and skip running repair for any product baseline. When this option is used together with "None" value, then the "/addsource" option should not be specified.
This option is applicable only in Quiet and Passive modes.
Optionally, sets the desired folder path for the logs file cabinet (FixDotNet*.cab) generated by the tool. Default (that is not specifying this option) location of the CAB file is current user's desktop folder.
The tool may make one or more changes to the installed version of .NET Framework. For example, it may correct the state of Windows Installer on the computer, reset the discretionary access control lists (DACLs) on certain folders, or resolve issues that are related to an invalid or corrupted update registration.
The .NET Framework Repair Tool provides an option to repair the versions of .NET Framework that are installed on the computer (step 3 of the process in the "Repair Tool options" section). The tool requires the redistributable files of those versions to be available at the time of repair. By default, the tool downloads these packages from the internet during the repair. If your computer has limited or no internet connectivity, you should use Offline mode for the repair. To do this, specify the /addsource option together with the path of the folder that contains the redistributable files, as in the following example:
All the functions of the Repair Tool can be automated by running the tool in Quiet or Passive mode. This has the benefit of requiring no user interaction for the tool to run. This is especially helpful in large deployments in which system administrators can configure the tool (through the command line) and also collect logs in specified locations.
The .NET Framework Repair Tool collects information about tool usage in addition to collecting diagnostic installation data. The usage information is used to improve the quality of the .NET Framework Repair Tool, and the installation data is used to improve .NET Framework setup. This information is not used for marketing or sold to third parties. For more information, read the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool Privacy Statement.
In some situations, your .NET Framework installation can become damaged and require repairs. This might be the case if your app crashes right after you try to start it or if you cannot install newer .NET Framework versions.
You can take an RPG and a repair tool at the same time for maximum chad engineer energy. In place of your C4/Anti-Personnel Mines the repair tool is listed, although not at the top like with the RPGs which is what made me miss it for dozens of hours.
In case you are not familiar with previous releases of this tool, here is a bit of background. Occasionally, some customers will run into issues when deploying a .NET Framework release or its updates and the issue may not be fixed from within the setup itself.
In such cases, the .NET Framework Repair Tool can help with detecting and fixing some of the common causes of install failures. This version (v1.4) of the repair tool supports all versions of .NET Framework from 3.5 SP1 to 4.8. The latest update adds support for .NET Framework 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2 and 4.8.
The tool supports both command line mode for power users as well as a setup wizard interface familiar to most users. You can find more information about how to use the repair tool and its capabilities by visiting the knowledge base article 2698555.
You do not need to have a reservation to attend the cafe, but we highly recommend you register ahead of time. This helps us plan for refreshments, number of repairers, types of repairs, etc. We also encourage repairees to come throughout the entire cafe and not just the start.
You can become a volunteer repairer by submitting your name, email, phone, and a little bit about yourself to in...@thetoolibrary.org or by filling-out the google form on our website (www.thetoollibrary.org/daretorepair)
No, we do not make house-calls to collect items which need to be repaired. Also, items must brough to repair cafes MUST be taken home with you if a repair cannot be made or recycling is not available at the host site.
In the spirit of sharing knowledge, creating community and fear of acquiring broken items, we require all repairees to stay with their item until it has been repaired or worked-on by the volunteer repairer. Instructors will only work on one item for a 30 to 45min time period before moving on to the next customer.
