Severity
Warning
Message
This Windows Installer database contains a .NET assembly [FILE_NAME] compiled with Microsoft .NET Framework version [VERSION] (Table: File, Key: [FILE_KEY]).
Background
On Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 and later systems, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is enabled by default. The manifests for .NET Framework 3.5 (including .NET 2.0 and 3.0) are also included, but without the supporting payload files. With a clean installation of Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 or later, applications that require .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5 might trigger a request for the necessary files.
Resolution
The following resolutions are available. Note that this issue is not resolved automatically by default.
Manual Fix
An application compatible with the specified Windows operating system should be delivered by its manufacturer. Self-developed applications should be re-engineered to use Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or later. Where this is not feasible, Microsoft provides a downloadable .NET Framework 3.5 (including .NET 2.0 and 3.0) feature available through Windows Update or on the original installation media.
Basic Auto Fix
No resolution is available.
