Installing Windows SDK .net 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server - windows-server-2008

I was trying to install Windows SDK which supports .NET 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server. But I couldn't find any link for the same. All I could find was this:
Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5
Can't we install SDK which supports .NET 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server, do I have to upgrade to Windows 2012 server? I could see that .NET 4.5 framework supports Windows 2008 server but not sure about the SDK. The reason I am looking for this is because, I am trying to install an assembly using GACUTIL, but when I install Windows SDK and try running GACUTIL, it states that the version is different.
Any ideas?

Got it. I was installing wrong SDK, I was installing SDK for 7.1, I should actually install SDK for 8.1. Silly mistake.

Project not working properly after publishing. VB.NET

I have published a mini project in VB.NET 2010, I'm currently using windows 7. The problem is after i transfer it to windows xp(sp2) and install it some of the buttons are not working. It is working properly when I install it to my laptop with windows 7.
Did you try installing .NET Framework 4 on Windows XP? Also you can try to install older versions like 3.5. After installing your program should work.
Download .NET Framework 4 from Microsoft

Which log4net is compatible with .net version 4 and windows azure?

I just downloaded log4net but got four different folders in bin below
cli , mono , net ,net-cp
which version is compatible with .net version 4 and windows azure?
cli ECMA CLI 1.0 compatible version
mono Version for mono
net General Microsoft .net version
net-cp .Net compact version
In your can you can use the net version, azure is running the latest Microsoft runtime, the cli of net-cp version will probably also work.

Prerequisite check for system component Microsoft .NET Framework

I have written a windows service in c# using ide visual studio 2012.
When I tried to install it on a windows server 2003 I got this error message:
Prerequisite check for system component Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (x86 and x64) failed with the following error message:
"Installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is not supported on this operating system. Contact your application vendor."
So I went back into my project and set the target framework to 4.0. I then rebuilt the solution, re-added the installer and published again. However, when I try to install I get the exact same error.
For some reason it is not detecting that I have changed the framework to 4.0. Any ideas where I have force this change or where even to look??
Extra Info: It seems to be using click-once deployment.
The only solution I came up with was to create a new project with the correct .NET version. Copied all my code across and it worked... shrug
.NET Framework 4.5 is not supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and similar.
Supported Operating Systems (as per System Requirements page):
Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Service Pack 2
Windows Vista SP2 (x86 and x64)
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x86 and x64)
If you're using Wine to install it, run winecfg and change your Windows version to higher.
Otherwise install lower version of .NET Framework such as 3.0. If you're compiling the project, change it in Target framework.

How do I install the .NET Framework 4.5 reference libraries on Windows Server 2008 R1?

I have an application whose deploy process builds the source code on the server I'm deploying to. My production server is Windows 2k8 (not 2k8 R2). My app is not compiling as the reference assemblies for .NET Framework 4.5 are not present.
I've tried installing the Windows 8 SDK and the option to install the reference assemblies isn't there. I've also tried installing Visual Studio Express 2012, which supposedly has the assemblies, but no luck there. So....
How do I get .NET Framework 4.5 applications to compile on a Windows Server 2k8 R1 machine?
There are manual instructions to install .NET 4.5 Reference assemblies of Windows Server 2008. Refer to following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363.aspx#rn
I've installed the reference assemblies from:
The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Developer Pack for Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2

.NET framework, Windows XP

We have built an app with Visual Studio 2012 and it runs beautifully on any Windows 7 or Vista machine, 32 or 64 bit. However, when I try to run the app on an Win XP machine, I get this:
**
Prerequisite check for system component Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
(x86 and x64) failed with the following error message:
"Installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is not supported on
this operating system. Contact your application vendor."
**
And then of course, when I try to install .NET 4.5 on the Win XP machine, I find out it's not supported.
At this point, I'm just wanting to know what can be done to get this app to run on Win XP. It's a calculator application written in visual basic.
Thanks Guys!
.Net framework 4.5 is not supported in Windows XP. If you're not using any .Net 4.5 features you can rebuild your app using .Net Framework 4 (In the Project properties).
I always hate these kind of answers, but a quick google search indicates that you can't get .net 4.5 to run on Windows XP.
IF you really really need your application to run, you can always use earlier versions of the framework
you can do this by
Right click on your project and go to
properties
application
target framework
and change that to something elxe
