HOW TO INSTALL .NET FRAMEWORK 4.8.1 on Windows 10

Question

Hi everyone, I come up with difficulty in installing .NET FREAMWORK 4.8.1, and I am here seeking for some help.

I need to run an exe that requires .NET FREAMWORK 4.8.1, but when I install .NET 4.8.1, it tells me that “This operating system does not support. NET Framework 4.8.1.”

By checking my computer configuration, i found i am using WINDOWS 10, and the .NET version already installed is 4.7 (release reg_dword is 461814). The hardware configuration required to install the .NET 4.8.1 seems to be all met in my computer.

I tried to find solution but failed, so i will be sincerely grateful if someone can help me fix this problem.
