I just tried with InstallShield 2016 Premier and created a new project (Basic MSI) and checked just Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 Full in my Redistributables list. Did a build and install - it wanted to install the .NET 4.6 as expected so I told it to go ahead and once it was done my install did continue OK. This was on a Windows 7 OS. It was set to Abort if it didn't install.
Sometimes a .NET Framework will require another hotfix or something be installed before they can be installed with success. It often seems to depend on a particular combination of .NET version and Operating System being used.
Here's an example of an issue installing .NET 4.6 or 4.6.1 on Windows 8. Just an example of why to run the .NET framework outside of the installer or temporarily remove the /q switch from the prerequisite command line switches and see if you get a message.

*Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015 shipped with .NET Framework 4.6 built into the OS. This OS version is a long-term servicing channel (LTSC) release. We will continue to support .NET Framework 4.6 on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015 through end of support of the OS version (October 2025).
There is no change to the support timelines for any other .NET Framework version, including .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, which will continue to be supported as documented on our .NET Framework Lifecycle FAQ.
The .NET Framework was previously digitally signed using certificates that use the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1). SHA-1 is a legacy cryptographic hashing algorithm that is no longer deemed secure. We are retiring content that were signed using digital certificates that used SHA-1 to support evolving industry standards.
After looking at download and usage data across the different versions of .NET Framework, we found that updating .NET Framework 4.6.2 and newer versions to support newer digital certificates (for the installers) would satisfy the vast majority (98%) of users without them needing to make a change. The small set of users using .NET Framework 4.5.2, 4.6, or 4.6.1 will need to upgrade to a later .NET Framework version to stay supported. Applications do not need to be recompiled. Given the nature of this change, we decided that targeting .NET Framework 4.6.2 and later was the best balance of support and effort.
.NET Framework 4.6.2 shipped nearly 5 years ago, and .NET Framework 4.8 shipped 2 years ago, so both versions are solid, stable runtimes for your applications. .NET Framework 4.6.2 and 4.8 are highly compatible in-place updates (replacements) for .NET 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1 and broadly deployed to hundreds of millions of computers via Windows Update (WU). If your computer is configured to take the latest updates from WU your application is likely already running on .NET Framework 4.8.
.NET Framework 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1 will be reaching end of support on April 26, 2022 and after this date we will no longer provide updates including security fixes or technical support for these versions. We strongly recommend you migrate your applications to at least .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher before this date.
The problem is fairly complex since it not just the outermost bundle that needed to be re-signed, these products carry multiple installers, CABs, and other artifacts wrapped inside and each of those may carry more. The work to re-sign was somewhat simpler for newer .NET Framework versions due to changes that happened over the 7 year period between .NET Framework 4.5.2 and now. So as I said in the main post, after reviewing telemetry for the various versions we determined this was the best balance between providing support and the corresponding effort. And yes, time-stamping was also a factor.
Many applications install the .NET as a dependency which is downloaded and the package must be verified. Microsoft published new, incompatible packages on existing URLs which effectively brakes any installer which verifies downloaded payload. This was done without any notice as the breaking packages are already published and none of the existing ISV could prepared a fixed releases of their software.
The quickest workaround in the immediate term is updating your bootstrapper yourself, in the near future we will also ship an updated ClickOnce bootstrapper in a VS update which will allow developers to use VS to simply rebuild their ClickOnce bootstrapper or Visual Studio Installer Project (which also internally uses the CO bootstrapper) to update their .NET Framework redistributable reference to the updated installers.
Assuming that NF 4.8 is final version of NF, and will last as Windows last, do it (NF 4.8) will be supported (fixes and security) as long as Windows is supported ?
Or maybe NF 4.8 support will be ceased, as with these verions mentioned in post.
The maximum installable .net framework version for Windows Server 2008 SP2 is .net Framework 4.6, so what are the support and updates for netfx46 installed on Windows Server 2008 SP2 with purchased Extended Security Updates?
I go to a blue page that says "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart". We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. I get a message that it is 100% complete. Then it says for more information about this issue and possible fixes, visit At the bottom of the window it says "If you call a support person give them this info: Stop code: PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA. WHAT FAILED: Wdf01000.sys. Everytime the PC reboots it goes to the same page. I'm able to hit F2 to get to the Boot window, but that's it.
Hello
Please follow the steps below
Start your computer and as soon as the windows logo shows on or the spinning dots near bottom of your screen press and hold the power button to power off your device.
Repeat this 2-3 times
then you will get a text at the middle bottom of your screen saying"preparing automatic repair"
Then, you may be asked to choose an account to continue. Next, type the password of the selected administrator user account. If you are not prompted for this information, skip to the next step.
I tried your suggestion, however each time the computer reboots, and I press the power key, I get a black "Dell Security Manager Screen" which requires me to sign in with my Administrator Password. After I sign in and then press the power key I come back to the same to the same sign in screen. Also, I don't see the windows logo its says Dell Laptop XPS 15 9550 with a spinning circle. Is there anyway to recover windows and/or anything else that might be missing or corrupted using the "Boot Menu"? @ShashankDahat
Yes, I do have a USB Boot Drive, and I've tried it several times, but it doesn't work. Here are some screen shoots of what I'm seeing when I reboot the Dell XPS 15 9550. I always get the "Dell Security Manager Screen" before I do anything (IMG - 5122). After I sign in it depends on whether I press down on the PF2 or PF12 key which screen I will get. (IMG - 5131) or (IMG - 5130). If I do nothing after I sign in I get this screen. (IMF - 5127). After that runs I get this screen. (IMF - 5126). When I press any key the whole scenario starts over again. My laptop is out of warranty with Dell and it seems like they are always talking money for help. Do you think I stand a better chance with Microsoft assistance or Dell? Also, do you have the contact information for Microsoft?
Now I recommend a windows clean install which would actually delete your apps and accounts but it would keep all our files in a separate folder at C drive namely windows.old (this method rarely fails)
I too reinstalled windows 10 through this way last month because of some updates not installed and the installation through windows also failed so I planned the clean install method and now it works just perfectly fine
If you want any help please contact me...I am also available on zoom, Microsoft teams, skype and on discord please privately message through click on my profile if you want to get help that way or here it is also good...
I can't remember if I replied to your email, but I want to make sure that I give you thanks and praise for reaching out and helping someone who has little knowledge of restoring or analyzing the problems that can be associated with Windows 10 updates. In my own opinion, I think Microsoft should do more testing and take ownership of the problems they can create by releasing an update before it's stable on all devices and systems across the board. That being said after I couldn't get my Repair USB Recovery Drive to work via the System Settings panel (F12) I was able to finally connect through the same panel to the Dell OS Recovery system. Once I was able to connect via ethernet connection ( a must) I was able to download my personal files to their server and reinstall a new Windows 10 System. The whole process was quite impressive the way Dell had it set up. The steps included checking for updates from Microsoft, Dell, and then a download of the personal files they downloaded, and the final step was to do a system check of hardware and software to make sure everything was set to go. And the kicker was is that I was out of warranty, but they still offered this service. It would seem to me that Microsoft could offer the same type of customer service that Dell offered me.
I can't thank you enough for your helpful assistance and persistent instructions on the ways to recover a corrupted or unfixable system through the standard methods Microsoft offers. You deserve a "Man of the Day" badge for helping someone you didn't even know. That in itself taught me a lot of things. More than instructions on how to fix a system, but how to help someone in need without expecting anything in return.
I want to really impress upon you, @ShashankDahat, how grateful and thankful I am for your time and helpfulness. You are truly a giving and selfless person. I hope one day I can assist you in some manner.
