It is common practice that most of the software installation wants .NET framework. Eventually, we have to install .NET framework, before installing other software. But sometimes, .Net installation occurs this error message: “Installation did not succeed“. After getting this error message, the installation will abort, and .NET framework failed to install. The computer won’t install other software until unless you install .NET framework. So here we’ll talk about this topic on this page. Let’s learn what is the problem with it, and how we can resolve it.
Cause:
You are getting this error “Installation did not succeed” while installing .NET framework maybe due to outdated Windows updates. Sometimes the Windows update doesn’t complete properly. And .NET needs up to date windows.
Solution:
Do update your windows or install its missing essential updates. Below we have given the offline Windows update as well. Please install it to fix this issue.
How to fix installation did not succeed NET framework error
First of all, click on the “Finish” button of the error message “Installation did not succeed“. After that click on “Close the Program” if asked. The error message will close down and the .NET installation will abort.

can i install netframework 4.5 for windows 7 32 bit
Yes you can, it will work.
I’m running Win 7 Pro 64 with SP1 (a fresh install, Dell Latitude E6410 Laptop)
NONE of these posted ‘solutions’ worked for me. I was able to get earlier .NET version to install (4.5.2) but I NEED 4.7.1 or later in order to run Cantabile 3 Performer. It is a VST synthesizer HOST application, for LIVE performance of virtual synths. I have scoured the internet and am unable to find a solution.
Bad solutions.. None of them was worked..

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I’ve been facing similar issue. I just tried this method with Net Framework 4.7.1. Didn’t work. I still ended up with the error.

Any other way to fixing this?
Thank you.
