The .NET Framework 4.6.2 web installer for Windows

About the .NET Framework 4.6.2

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 is a highly compatible, in-place update to the Microsoft .NET Framework 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1.

The web installer is a small package that automatically determines and downloads only the components that apply to a particular platform. The web installer also installs the language pack that matches the language of the user's operating system.

The offline package can be used when the web installer cannot be used because of lack of Internet connectivity. This package is larger than the web installer and does not include the language packs.

When you install this package, you can see following packages or updates installed, depending on your operating system:

• In Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Microsoft.NET Framework 4.6.2 is displayed as an installed product under Programs and Features in Control Panel.

• In Windows Server 2012, Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3151804) is displayed as an installed product under Installed Updates in Control Panel.

• In Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2, Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3151864) is displayed as an installed product under Installed Updates in Control Panel.

• In Windows 10 (Version 1507) and Windows 10 November Update (Version 1511), Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3151900) is displayed as an installed product under Installed Updates in Control Panel.
