The setup cannot run in compatibility mode

  • Artikel

The Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5.2 Setup may fail with the below error message:

Capture

As per the install log:

Installation Blockers:

1.The setup cannot run in compatibility mode.
2.The .NET Framework 4.5.2 is not supported on this operating system.

I ran the process monitor tool and captured a trace for the Setup. As per the trace, I found that an OS app compat shim has been applied on the system.

A shim is a small library which transparently intercepts an API, changes the parameters passed, handles the operation itself, or redirects the operation elsewhere. Shims can also be used for running programs on different software platforms than they were developed for. For more details: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd837644(v=ws.10).aspx 

I renamed registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Custom\setup.exe and started the NetFx 4.5.2 Setup package. It was successful and the issue was resolved.
