.NET Framework Runtime 4?
The Microsoft .NET Framework 4 redistributable package installs the .NET Framework runtime and associated files that are required to run and develop applications to target the .NET Framework 4. The Microsoft .NET Framework is a comprehensive and consistent programming model for building applications that have visually stunning user experiences, seamless and secure communication, and the ability to model a range of business processes.
Important Note:
All .NET Framework versions since .NET Framework 4 are in-place updates, so only a single 4.x version can be present on a system. In addition, particular versions of the .NET Framework are preinstalled on some versions of the Windows operating system.
This means that:
- If there’s a later 4.x version installed on the machine already, you can’t install a previous 4.x version.
- If the OS comes preinstalled with a particular .NET Framework version, you can’t install a previous 4.x version on the same machine.
- If you install a later version, you don’t have to first uninstall the previous version.
You can use .NET Runtime version 4 along with the older versions of .NET Runtimes. That means the .NET Framework 4 works side by side with older Framework versions. Any software that was developed based on earlier versions of the Framework will continue to run on the version targeted by default. The .NET Framework for Windows is a software development platform for building applications for the web, Windows, Windows Phone, Windows Server, and Microsoft Azure. It consists of the common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library, which includes a broad range of functionality and support for many industry standards.
