In using VPS, sometimes not installing software makes users uncomfortable. To resolve this situation, you need to install .NET Framework 3.5 on a Windows VPS. So what is .NET Framework 3.5? How to install? Don’t miss the article below by Dainty Cloud to get the answer.

Why install .NET Framework 3.5?

When renting and using a VPS, some customers may encounter an error that they cannot install software on it. The reason is due to the lack of a .Net Framework 3.5 environment. It prevents you from running the software you want. Programs written in the .NET language need the .NET Framework environment to be installed and run.

The cause of the .NET Framework environment not appearing on your VPS can be due to:

  • Turn off Windows Update.
  • Your VPS already has .NET Framework but is not enabled.
  • Framework error.
