FineBuild can install and configure .Net 4.x (.Net 4.5, through to .Net 4.8) as part of the SQL Server install process.
You must Install .Net 3.5 for all editions of SQL Server up to SQL2017, but SQL Server 2012 and above also requires that .Net 4.x is installed. It is recommended that .Net 4.x is installed for all SQL Server installs on Windows 2008 or above, to minimise risks if .Net 4.x is installed at a later date.
For some editions of SQL Server or versions of Windows the install media for .Net 4.x must be downloaded, for others the install media is included. The table below shows when you must do a download.
| Operating system | SQL Server Version | Other Editions |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 2008 or above | any | Download |
| Windows 2003 or below | any | Not Available |
If you are installing .Net 4.6.2 or above on Windows 2012 R2 then you must also Install Windows 2012 R2 KB4019990.
This covers Windows 2019, Windows 2016, Windows 2012 R2, Windows 2012, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2008, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista
If you are installing on windows 2012 or above, then .Net 4.5 is built in to this version of Windows, but the updates to .Net 4.5 are not included with Windows and must be downloaded from the location shown below.
All of the .Net 4.x components are cumulative, you only need to install the version you wish to use on your system. It is recommended that you install the latest version of .Net 4.x tha tis available, as this will reduce the possibility of errors if this is installed at a later date.
Download the .Net 4.x standalone install media from the location below and put it in to the Additional Components folder. Versions of .Net 4.x up to 4.7.2 are shown, but FineBuild will install the highest version of .Net 4.x that has been downloaded.

.Net 4.x cannot be installed on these operating systems. No download is available.
Automated silent installation of .Net 4.x is performed by Process Id 2AQ and is controlled by the parameters below:
| SQL Version | Parameter | FULL Build | WORKSTATION Build | CLIENT Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SQL2019 | /SetupNet4x: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2017 | /SetupNet4x: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2016 | /SetupNet4x: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2014 | /SetupNet4x: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2012 | /SetupNet4x: | Yes | Yes | Yes |

| SQL2008 | /SetupNet4x: | No | No | No |
| SQL2005 | /SetupNet4x: | No | No | No |
In order to maintain compatibility with older versions of SQL FineBuild, the parameter /SetupNet45: can also be used.
.Net 4.x will be installed automatically if you are installing SQL 2012 or above. If you want to install .Net 4.x with other versions of SQL Server the following parameter should be added at run time: /SetupNet4x:Yes
FineBuild also uses the following parameters to help install MDX Studio:
| Parameter | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /Net4xexe: | NDP**-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe | Name of file containing .Net 4.x install media |
The wildcards will be resolved by FineBuild to take the highest version of .Net 4.x that is found in the Additional Components folder.
The following steps show what you would have to do to install .Net 4.x manually. FineBuild does all of this work for you automatically.
