The extension requires a version of the .NET Framework that is not installed.

I am attempting to install this on a fresh Windows 7 Visual Studio 2013 installation, and I am getting the error:

The extension could not be installed because the following error occurred:

The extension 'Visual Studio Restart' requires a version of the .NET Framework that is not installed.

In addition to not knowing what framework I am missing, I am in an environment where I cannot install any additional .NET frameworks, how can I install this extension?

Hi, the extension have the .NET Framework 4.5 as a dependency which should be installed by default when installing VS2013 IIRC.

Since I'm no more using VS2013, you can just send a PR to lower the .NET Framework dependency, or clone and build it yourself.

Update. Looks like the extension manifest is incorrectly too tighten, the correct dependency should be the same as this one to allow .net 4.5 or newer

That did the trick, I'll offer a PR.
