.NET is an integral part of many apps running on Windows and provides common functionality for those apps to run. For developers, the .NET Framework provides a comprehensive and consistent programming model for building apps that have visually stunning user experiences and seamless and secure communication.

This article provides links for installing the .NET Framework 4.5, its point releases (4.5.1, 4.5.2), the [!INCLUDE[net_v46](../../../includes/net-v46-md.md)], its point releases (4.6.1, 4.6.2), and the .NET Framework 4.7 and its point release (4.7.1) on your computer. If you're a developer, you can also use these links to download and redistribute the .NET Framework with your apps.
This article provides links for installing all versions of the .NET Framework from the .NET Framework 4.5 to the [!INCLUDE[net_current](../../../includes/net-current-version.md)] on your computer. If you're a developer, you can also use these links to download and redistribute the .NET Framework with your apps.

> [!NOTE]
> This topic is intended for developers who either want to install the .NET Framework on their own system or who want to install it with their applications. For users interested in installing the .NET Framework, see the individual topics that discuss installing the .NET Framework on specific operating systems, such as [Install the .NET Framework on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016](on-windows-10.md).

Note that installing a new version of the .NET Framework doesn't always replace a previous version. For more information about versions of the .NET Framework and how to determine which versions are installed on a computer, see [Versions and Dependencies](~/docs/framework/migration-guide/versions-and-dependencies.md) and [How to: Determine Which .NET Framework Versions Are Installed](../../../docs/framework/migration-guide/how-to-determine-which-versions-are-installed.md). All of the .NET Framework versions listed in the following table are in-place updates to the .NET Framework 4. In other words, if you install a later version, such as the .NET Framework 4.6, you do not first have to install the previous versions, such as the .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1, or 4.5.2. Similarly, if you install a later version, such as the .NET Framework 4.6, you do not first have to uninstall the previous versions, such as the .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1, or 4.5.2.

The fact that later .NET Framework 4.x versions are in-place updates to earlier versions means that you *cannot* install an earlier version listed in the table if a later version is already installed. For example, you cannot install the .NET Framework 4.6 on a Windows 10 November Update system, since the .NET Framework 4.6.1 is preinstalled on it.
