Need help downgrading .NET version

50 Views Asked by At

I need to make some modifications to a huge application that runs under .NET 4.5.2.

I installed it on a machine that has later .NET frameworks installed and tried to install 4.5.2 and get the following message: ".NET Framework 4.5.2 or a later update is already installed on this computer."

So then I uninstalled all the .NET frameworks with Control Panel | Uninstall a program, and also with the Visual Studio Installer. But I still get the same message when I try to install 4.5.2.

According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/troubleshoot-blocked-installations-and-uninstallations?redirectedfrom=MSDN, if the Registry key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full is missing, .NET 4.5 or above isn't installed. It IS present on my system and can't be changed in Regedit.

So, my question is, how can I remove the last remnants of .NET frameworks so I can install 4.5.2?

Thanks!
