The.NET Framework 4.5.2 delivers better performance, reliability, and security. The Microsoft.NET Framework 4.5.2 is a software component which can be added to the Microsoft Windows operating system. It provides a large body of pre-coded solutions to common program requirements, and manages the execution of programs written specifically for.
With each day that goes by, the .NET Framework runtime environment becomes an even more important element of the Windows operating systems and the version included in the final release of Windows 8 is .NET Framework 4.5.
- I have Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft.NET Framework 4.5.2. Do I need them both? Faize on June 17, 2015 at 9:59 am Hi, Thanks for sharing the farmeworks.
- SDK: Upgrade of.net Framework from 4.5.2 to 4.6 breaks custom plugins and workflows Verified we try to upgrade the.net framework version of our custom plugin and workflow projects. Unfortunately this breaks all registered plugins and workflows.
Why is it so important?
The main reason why .NET Framework 4.5 is so important is because it offers coders a runtime environment for their programs that can work with several programming languages at the same time, thus avoiding having to have a program that's all written in the same language.
The variety of languages supported by .NET Framework 4.5 is very large and covers all the main programming languages, including C#, C++, Visual Basic .NET, Perl, Python,...
The future of programming for Windows.
Microsoft's main idea is to transform .NET Framework into the main application on which all programs developed for Windows will be based, and it also has the added bonus of implementing programs for Windows Azure, their platform on the cloud.
Therefore, if you want to see what the new implementation of the runtime environment by Microsoft will include, go ahead and download .NET Framework 4.5 for free.
- This download requires an Internet connection to install the program.
- This download only works on Windows 7 or above.
A few days ago somebody raised a question in the community forums:
“Currently, Microsoft Dynamics 365 requires the .NET Framework version 4.6.2 for plug-in assemblies. Rebuild the assembly with the .NET Framework version 4.6.2 and try again.”
Well, it’s hard to know what’s happening in various environments, so I made a note for myself but did not pay too much attention. That is until a few days later somebody else (yes, Rob K), mentioned that he could not import my TCS Tools solution into V9.
That sort of rang a bell, but I still did not make the connection right away.
To my surprise, I got exactly the same error when I tried importing TCS Tools into a new V9 trial a day or two later.
If you look at the thread there, you’ll find a response from Vladimir Karukes – basically, we need to specify 4.5.2 target for the plugin assembly to avoid the error. Turned out he was spot on.
In case with TCS Tools, here is what happened:
- I’ve always been building it using the on-prem version, and it works fine with 4.6
- So the target FW version of my assemblies used to be 4.6(?)
- At which point did it stop working in V9, I am not 100% sure, but, looking at that thread in the community forums, it seems there was some recent change
So yes, rebuilding for 4.5.2 did solve the problem.
But, before I got to 4.5.2, I actually tried 4.7.2.. Guess what error message came up then? It was exactly the same error, but it was saying that my assembly was supposed to target 4.7.2 this time around.
In other words, the error message seems to be misleading – Dynamics seems to be looking at the actual target FW version of the assembly and just echoing that version number where it should be asking for 4.5.2(since it seems to be the highest supported version in the online environment).

PS. Still have to rebuild Configuration Data Manager tool, too, but that’s for tomorrow..
