Enable ASP.NET 4.6. on Server 2012 R2?
Hey Team,
Just after some consult for a task im doing.
I need to upgrade some software on a server, and the instructions from vendor say to:
Register ASP.NET With IIS
#
Start the Server Manager.
# Navigate to Manage > Add Roles and Feature > Server Roles
# Navigate to Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Application Development
#
Enable ASP.NET 4.6.
My server though is running 2012 R2 and only has ASP.NET 4.5 available as an option (which is already installed with IIS).
Server also already has .netframework 4.6.1 installed.
The vendors documentation doesnt mention .netframework, only ASP.net 4.6 feature.
Is this the same thing?
Cheers

4.5 is the installed version, but the updates as you note reflect that you have 4.6
look at the web.config and there If not mistaken, you can set the .net framework version you need.
Site application settings is where you can check the .net framework.
Do you have a test environment where you can set this up?

Hi Arnold,
Thanks for taking interest in my issue.
Are you saying "ASP.NET 4.6" windows feature under IIS is the same thing as .net framework that was installed using an offline installer?

I am having trouble reaching the vendor to clarify if Server 2012 R2 is supported by this software, thus my reaching out for help.
The above is really good research and gives me confidence to snap the server and move forward with upgrade.
Massive thanks @arnold.
