When installing the update packagessystems or when installing new software, you sometimes have to download files for the .NET Framework, but in some cases failures occur. Let's try to figure out what kind of component it is and how to update the .NET Framework so that everything works like a clock.
The platform itself is present in any systemWindows. Initially, it was developed by Microsoft specialists to create programs and applications, use secure means of communication and much more.
However, over time it turned into aA universal tool that allows compatibility of programs written in different programming languages. Roughly speaking, if a certain application is not designed for operation in a Windows environment, when using the platform as a kind of middleman or bridge, the program will be able to start and run in full-function mode.
As for the update questions, by default.The .NET Framework can only be updated manually, because even with the system update included, packages for this platform are not installed, and updates themselves relate primarily to security and safety systems. How to do this, will be shown below.
Update platform Microsoft.NET Framework can update not only the program modules, but also the main components of the development environment. In this case, if new features or support for additional structures appear, they will also be installed.
In the list of updates most often you can observe the improvement of the following components:
The full list can be found on the official website of the corporation.
Now, directly about the update. Microsoft.The .NET Framework can only be updated if the system fully meets certain initial conditions. It must necessarily include a Windows Installer version no lower than 3.1, as well as an Internet Explorer browser version 5.01 and higher.
In the event that such components in the systemno, first of all you will have to update them, and only after that install updates for the entire platform as a whole. In addition, a prerequisite is the availability of the latest updates and service packs for the operating systems themselves.
If for some reason they were not installed in automatic mode, in the "Update Center" you should specify a manual search, and integrate the found components into the system.
When installing updates, you should also pay attention to the system configuration and the availability of free disk space.
Supported operating systems from XP to 10 andarchitecture x86, x64 and ia64 (some components are unavailable or not supported). The minimum configuration should include a processor with a clock speed of 1 GHz or higher, 512 MB of RAM or more, and about 850 MB of free disk space for 32-bit systems (or 2 GB for 64-bit architecture).
Sometimes during the installation of some applicationsa message is issued that, in order to work correctly, the .NET Framework must be updated (Windows 7 is used, or any other supported system, not important). And here it is worth paying attention to one interesting fact. The fact is that installing a new version to the update process as such has nothing to do. Simply install a new version of the platform. In this case, the installer first deletes the old modification, and only then starts the installation of the new version.
Sometimes, before installing a hotly updated version, it may be necessary to remove the previous modification manually (this mainly applies to Windows XP).
.NET Framework can only be updated ifpreliminary downloading of the installation distribution from the official Microsoft website (it is better not to take it from other sources, since this may be an incomplete version of the functionality, moreover, it is infected with viruses and malicious codes). In extreme cases, before running the installer or unpacking the archive containing it, you need to check the files with an antivirus scanner.
After downloading the file, it remains to run it as administrator and wait for the installation process to complete.
However, despite the simplicity of the update process, installation may cause problems. Most often it concerns version 4.0. The installer displays a message stating that the installation was not completed.
You can, of course, rebootcomputer system and try to reinstall the installation, but in most cases the effect is zero. Therefore, the .NET Framework can be updated with the following problems.
Run the command line (cmd) from the menu"Run" (Win + R), register in the net stop WuAuServ console. After that, find the folder Software Distribution in the root directory of the system (C: Windows) and rename it, for example, in SDold.
Then, at the command prompt, type net WuAuServ start and repeat the installation. In 99.9% of cases, this technique completely eliminates the problem.
As you can see, nothing is complicated in updating the platform.NET Framework is not present. The main thing is to take into account the system requirements for computers for its correct functioning, to install the latest updates for the "operating system" itself and pay attention to the installed version if the package was downloaded from another source than from an official resource. In the event of errors or malfunctions, the described technique gives almost 100% guarantee of correction of the situation.
