.NET Framework run-time is a Microsoft product used to run the applications made with Visual Studio using this framework. If you read the system requirements of most of the modern software for Windows, you will see that most of them require .NET Framework to be installed on the computer so that the application can be installed and run.
Recently Microsoft announced an open-source version of .NET which means that now .NET can be made available to other platforms as well like Linux and Mac.
If you are a developer or an advanced user, you will need multiple versions of .NET Framework to be installed on the same system for testing and other purposes. I find it quite difficult to find and then download each version from Microsoft’s website as the downloads are scattered all around. The purpose of this page is to organize all the download links of .NET Framework in one place so that we can download our desired version with a single click.

Installing all the compatible frameworks at once is also possible using a software called All in One Runtimes. I haven’t tried it myself but the review states that it does install all the common run-times in Windows along with different versions of .NET Framework. The only issue is that the site, as well as the software, are in the German language.

Did you get any error while installing the .NET Framework 4.5? Try installing a newer version of .NET Framework as version 4.8?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3005
version 3.0
3.0 download link is dead unfortunately. 🙁
Clearly not an offline (full version) installer as the first part of the install process is to attempt a download…
Just so you’re aware… “offline” means no downloads.
Thanks man! its very helpful article! 😀

Whenever i connect my modem into my computer,they always tell me to download netframework 3.5 because an app on it needs it before i can be connected to the internet.I installed many of them but not able to install, the same message exist which prevents it from installing.
Hi Godwin, please follow the instructions in this article for fixing your .NET Framework 3.5 issues.
Thanks a lot
version 3.0 on microsoft
https://www.microsoft.com/pt-br/download/details.aspx?id=3005
Link to the “All in One Runtimes” (German) software was very useful, I couldn’t have found that software on my own.
Translated the website using google translate, and checked out the “changelog”, it contains all the details about the available .NET versions.
Thanks.
Just wanted to thank you for assembling these software titles in one place.
I was a little confused while trying to re-install a version of .net 4.5 and through this site got all the information and several utilities that made it work out perfectly.
In addition, I now know what I had done wrong and should be able to work out the problem should it occur again.
Thank you!
There seems to be an error for .NET Framework 4.6.1 link. Manually search and found the download link on microsoft’s website.
https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/4/1/E4173890-A24A-4936-9FC9-AF930FE3FA40/NDP461-KB3102436-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe

Hi
My problem was will installing AutoCad the message was that NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 didn’t installed I tried many ways but non of them worked
ANY SOLUTION
I suspect the reason why .NET Framework 3.0 isn’t available to download from Microsoft is it is the closest they would admit to it being buggy.
But for any that want it, maybe try this for .NET Framework 3.0 SP1:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=3005
HTH & nice site here, very helpfull ☺
Hi Yvette, I have checked the download link of .NET Framework 3.0 and it’s working fine. What problem did you face while downloading this specific framework?
I didn’t have a problem with .NET 3.0. It comes in Win7 but most the programs I use require .NET 4.0 which I get easily.
I gave the link as you asked if anyone knew of one to the Microsoft site.
Yup thanks a lot for the support Yvette. It was so kind of you. I have downloaded the framework from the link you gave but it’s only the service pack, not the complete 3.0 framework. If you find the complete framework download link, do let me know 🙂
can you please merge it into one standalone installer.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
Very thanks. So helpful!
Thank you very much. it’s easy way
