What are the minimum OS requirements for each of the .Net frameworks? E.g. for which version is it impossible to run each OS on:
I believe all .Net frameworks are compatible w/ XP, Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 (please correct me on that if wrong).
Microsoft designed the . NET Framework so that multiple versions of the framework can be installed and used at the same time. This means that there will be no conflict if multiple applications install different versions of the . NET framework on a single computer.
NET Framework 4.5 and later versions are backward-compatible with apps that were built with earlier versions of the . NET Framework. In other words, apps and components built with previous versions will work without modification on the . NET Framework 4.5 and later versions.
Net Framework is supported on Windows 10 but it isn't compatible with all versions of the Windows 10. So, if you are seeing this message then the most likely cause of this error is that you are running a Windows 10 version that isn't compatible with the . Net Framework.
1.x and 2.0 work all the way back to Win98 but stop before Windows 8 (not verified).
