Dears,
On Windows Server 2019, I wanted to install .net 4.8 framework.
I wanted to revert back afterwards and were the problems.
First, I don't have anymore access to server manager app.
Second and more strange is in regedit, I don't have any entry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4. It stops at v3.5.
Even if I try to reinstall .net framework 4.8, it says it's already in. If I try on .net 4.5, 4.6 or 4.7, it says I got already an higher version of .net.
How can I restore .net 4 on my system?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Kind regards,
Hi Leon
Well, I think I solved it using: Dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx4 /All
Et voila, I got again my v4 in the registry editor and it looks to work like a charm.
Thanks for your support anyway, appreciate it,
Kind regards,
Glad to hear, you're welcome.

Hi @Bourgais, David ,
Sounds like your .NET Framework might be corrupted/broken, I suggest trying the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool over here:

Hi Leon,
Many thanks but, sorry, I missed that, but I already tried.
Problem remains the same.
Here's the log of the Framework Repair Tool if it can help.
Appreciate a lot your feedback,104264-fixdotnet.log
Kind regards,
No specific errors mentioned in the log, might want to consider a reinstall/clean install of your server if possible, .NET Framework is really a feature builtin the operating system so you might encounter more issues in the future.
