How to make .NET Application using 3.5 or below to run on Windows 10

When user tries to install application that is targeted to use .NET 3.5 or below in windows 10, it may not get installed in Windows 10 directly as it is.

This doesn't mean that windows 10 will not support those application. It does have a provision to make older applications work as intended but needs changes in the feature settings.

Go to Control Panel -> View by, Large icons -> Programs And Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> select .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) -> OK


It will ask to download supported files. Give Yes.



Upon download completion of all the required files, try to install the setup files and it will get installed successfully.

Note: Even .NET application targeted for 1.1 can run in windows 10.
