   Thanks for sharing this Stefan.
   What I don’t understand is why has MS not included this in their latest release of the SharePoint 2013 setup. I know it’s no longer the latest version but if you’re going to leave a product downloadable, you should either include such a critical fix or put a big red warning on the download page with a redirect to this KB. I downloaded 2013 yesterday and I’ve wasted my entire morning with installation problems including this one. Very frustrating.

      Hi Thierry,
      the latest release of SharePoint 2013 is the slipstream install SharePoint 2013 with SP1. this was released February 2014.
      .NET framework 4.6 was released in year 2015.
      So I think it is clear now why .NET 4.6 support could not be added in the latest released SharePoint 2013 version.
      Cheers,
      Stefan

   Microsoft today decided to joke with me. The link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3087184 goes to a blank page.

      Hi Jean,
      I tested the link and it works fine. Seems to be an issue on your end.
      Cheers,

   Thanks, Stefan!
   Is there something similar to Office Web Apps (aka WAC) or Office Online Server?

   Dear Stefan,

   I have a SharePoint 2013 farm. Lot of Visual Studio custom developed web parts are hosted in SharePoint 2013 and working fine. Those custom web parts are developed using Visual Studio 2013.

   Now, I have a requirement to upgrade all custom solutions to .Net Framework 4.7

   I have installed .net framework 4.7 developer pack but not able to see the installed .net framework 4.7 in visual studio -> project properties -> Targeted Framework section.

   This is happening only for SharePoint based project in visual studio 2013. But it works fine for ASP.Net projects.

   Kindly guide me..

   Thanks in advance

    I have SharePoint Server 2013 with latest SP CU installed on Windows Server 2012 R2. Is there any challenges if we upgrade .net framework to 4.6 or higher version on SharePoint server.

       Hi JA,
       not for SharePoint itself. If you have any custom code integrated you would need to validate if that custom code has any issues.
       Cheers,
       Stefan

    I’ve also encountered this .Net Framework error problem this week. I was attempting to install the “SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1” download from MSDN. As a few of you have commented, the fix file (svrsetup_15-0-4709-1000_x64.zip) is no longer available (broken links or erroneously pointed to the service pack which doesn’t contain the fix).

    I couldn’t locate that fix file, but as a workaround I have got the install to work successfully by running the RTM install, “SharePoint Server 2013” downloaded from the MSDN website. For whatever reason, this earlier version doesn’t encounter that problem. Then install the service pack…..

    Hope this helps somebody.

    Could we not just have released a new ISO for download?
