title: Need help installing .NET Framework 4.5.2 on Windows Server 2016 Data Center for client requirement
body: <p>I have a requirement to run .NET Framework 4.5.2 (not anything higher ie. 4.6/7/8).  Per company policy I can not use anything other than Windows Server 2016 (DC in my case) yet no matter what I try the installer fails.  Does anyone have any guidance?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the offline installer for both .NET Framework 4.5.2 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 Developer Pack (KB2901951)</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions are appreciated.</p>
