Microsoft Net Framework 4.7 2 Full Package May 2026

A: Nothing. The app should run because 4.8 is in-place update-compatible. If the app throws an error, edit the app’s .config file to add:

<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2" />
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.8" />

After installation, check the registry or command line:

Registry Path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full

Command Line:

Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full' | Get-ItemPropertyValue -Name Release
# Output should be 461808

Or use:

dir %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\clr.dll

Check file version (should start with 4.7.3xxx).
