Hello,
I was installing my MSI mobo drivers from Disc and while installing the CPU drivers it shows an error that this requires .Net 3.5.
Well i already have .Net 4.5 preinstalled.

P.S-After upgrading my PC frm Win 7 to win 8.1 this error is occuring even while plauing games like some dll files ade missing.

Any help will b appreciated.
Thanx

There are a total of three different CLR (Common Language Runtime) versions.

CLR 1.0 and CLR 1.1 -> .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1 (obsolete)

CLR 2.0 -> .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5

CLR 4.0 -> .NET Framework 4.0, 4.5, 4.6, etc...

Each set is a separate beast which must be installed independently. You should install both the .NET Framework 3.5 and the latest 4.x
