.net framework install/update issue

[SavageThorn]

If this has been resolved elsewhere I couldnt find it. It's driving me absolutely bat*%$^ crazy. Just trying to install the nexus mod manager, it runs the install, select launch, error pops up saying requires .netframe 4.5.2 , click here to download, i do that, it takes me to a page for 4.5.6, i tried downloading that and installing, it asked for the usual admin approval, then nothing happens, tried going to the 4.5.2 specific, exact same issue, in task manager under processes it shows the install running, but nothing happens. trying to end task/task tree does nothing, it never ends, nothing shows up nada. running windows 7. any help or info would be massively appreciated. tried searching google and microsoft help and a few hundred other spots for several weeks now with no love. anyone know what i need to do to resolve this?

Do you have admin privileges on your system? Are you using the offline installer? (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2901907) The default .NET installers are web-based and will take their sweet time trying to find some mystical resource online, and then download it at an amazingly slow speed (even if your ISP is great; I've seen these things run at literally worse than 56k speeds on 100M broadband pipes), which would certainly be a plausible explanation for "its sitting there doing nothing." Also, this uses the MSI install framework, which will generally refuse to run if ANY OTHER active installs, updates, etc are going - if you have Windows Update chugging in the background, if the NMM install prompts are open, etc all of that must be closed for .NET to proceed.

 

Also some anti-virus programs (AVG is great for this!) love to break .NET by randomly flagging it as a virus, randomly removing it, randomly renaming parts of it, etc. May have to disable real-time scanning during the install if that's the case.

 

So download the offline installer, boot the machine up clean, run the installer, and you should be set, assuming you have admin privs on that account and there isn't some bigger, more insidious problem lurking in the shadows.

Hi, today I updated NexusModManager and now it asks me to have .Net Framework 6.1 but when I try to install it says that my system is not compatible with that version. Could you please tell me what to do? or how to make my nexus mod manager get an older version? Help pls!

[obobski]

I don't think there is ".NET Framework 6.1" - the latest version is 4.something (4.5 or 4.6 I don't remember). Would need more information about your system or what application you're actually trying to install (ideally both) to give you any useful answers.

I just did the NMM Update and am having the same issues. I am running windows 7 64 Bit, when I try to open Nmm it comes up saying that I need .NET 4.6 I've tried the link NMM gives but it comes up not compatible.

 

I have even gone so far as to go to the MS website and downloaded 4.6 and 4.6.1 64 bit, but every time I try to install it comes up with a window saying:

Blocking Issues:

The .NET Framework 4.6.1 is not supported on this operating system.

 

What is better in 4.6 than an earlier version?

Why do those who can't update for some weird in-compatibility issue have to be forced to update when we can't?

.Net Framework is part of windows and not a Nexus program. IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH WIN7 x64. But only if you have the FREE SP1 update that came out five years ago.

My guess is you have not been keeping up with your Windows updates and are way behind.

Before you can update .net framework in Win7 you MUST have updated to SP1 - or it cannot install.

Go to your Windows update and see if you have SP1 installed. It came out 5 years ago and was a major update to Win7.

If not - my guess is you will spend the next day or so updating your windows to get it up to date.

 

Fix your Windows first. Then install NMM. :thumbsup:

.net 4.6.1 is an optional update that was recently republished for Win7.

You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 is a highly compatible, in-place update for the .NET Framework 4.5.2. After you install this update, you may have to restart your computer.

If you don't even have service pack 1 for windows 7 you are really behind and in a big mess too. Better to get the offline installer of service pack 1 than through windows update. After updating to service pack 1 which will take a very long time you have to update internet explorer to v11 so get the offline installer for that too which will also take a while. Once all that stuff is done get the slow windows update kb fix and install that. After you do that and restart, you can FINALLY run windows update and it won't take forever to show you what updates you need.

 

After you finally wrestled with all that crap, google aegis and get that. With aegis you can get rid of the get windows 10 spyware nag screens until the next time you run windows update. You can run aegis as many times as you want though:-)

Windows 10 "nag screens" can be disabled permanently with a simple registry key change and hiding the Windows 10-notifier update in Windows Update. It's a one time change that doesn't require any unknown (potentially spyware-packed) third party "apps", and Windows Update will quite happily run automatically. Using the off-line installer for SP1 on a machine that's not been properly kept-up-to-date could also lead to dependency hell; easier to just let WU handle its business on automatic.

Also some machines don't get the Windows 10 notifier ("GWX.exe") - this seems to be random as to whether or not they will receive it. For example the desktop I'm typing this on has never gotten gwx.exe via WU, but it fully meets the requirements for Windows 10, is fully up-to-date (and runs automatic updates), yet both of my gaming desktops received gwx.exe (one of them was almost identical to the machine I'm writing this on). I don't know if there's a KB article on why some machines randomly don't get gwx.exe, but there's always a chance your machine "lucks out."
