Hi,
Our dev env has .net framework 4.5 and 4.7, the development team wants to uninstall 4.7
I could not find any relevant KB which I could uninstall.
Any idea how to achieve this in SP 2013
Thanks

Seems you can just install with the offline installer of .NET framework matching the OS version.
See the links in comment for how to install SharePoint 2013 after .NET 4.6+ is installed.
Note that if your SharePoint system have 3rd party components (mostly those Workflow software) you'll want to check if they support newer .NET version first.
I want to uninstall 4.7, not install. I want to retain 4.5
What is the OS version?
Btw, check "Application and Features" and see if you can find item "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7" to uninstall.

Hi,
The problem is that each version after 4.5 is a highly compatible replacement for earlier versions so 4.5 is NOT currently installed. You would need to uninstall 4.7 and reinstall 4.5 hoping it won' break anything (make sure to have a rollback plan).
Also R2 comes with 4.5.1, the latest supported version is 4.5.2 and once again each version is highly compatible with earlier versions. Does it worth the trouble? Does it bring a well identified benefit ?
