I need to upgrade my NET. Framework in order to get a software to run.  
 ![](https://i.gyazo.com/44fdd242914e3950b6effd19c0df191f.png)

But, whenever I download the 4.7.2 or even the 4.8 (latest version) and install it on my PC (running Win10) I encounter some issues…

Translating that it says something like…

> blocking problems
> 
> the .NET Framework 4.8 redistributable package does not apply to this operating system. Download the .NET Framework 4.8 for your operating system from the Microsoft Download Center.

And I have download and installing 3 types of .NET Framework.

The online, offline, and developers file. All supporting Windows 64 bits and 32 bits alike. But neither will install on my PC.

Thoughts?

I think you need to download [Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/)  
may be this will help [Link](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads)

Sorry for my ignorance on the topic and perhaps I am risking to ask a dumb question but…What Visual C++ has to do with my issue with .NET Framework?

Either way, I have VSC install on my PC and I just install the one from your link and I am still getting the same error.

You can also use this command **{ Dism.exe /online /Enable-Feature:NETFX3 /All /source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess }** under the command prompt of the windows media file

I have installed the 3.5 version and I need the 4.7.2 in order for a software to run. I have WIN10 64bits installed.

And I am running a i7 3.5Mhz processor with 8gb of RAM and plenty of free space to download NET Framework.

Read the message in bold again bro, you’ll find your fix. Not the system requirements.

I have. As I understand it, I have to install a language package before installing a newer version of NET Framework.

But, when doing so, it says I need to install the Spanish version of the NET Framework before installing any NET Framework package.

My Windows is in Spanish, I don´t know if that is important.

I am sorry but, I´ve followed everything on bold and have read the guides and I am still unable to get this done.

YES! I am trying to install the 4.7.2 (version required by the software I am trying to run) and my system has the 3.5 version.

I am running a Win10 64 bit OS.

I tried with the online, offline, and developers installer and they all show the SAME issue.

Already read the guides and, they are all redirecting me to the same download page.
